Playing with shaving cream

There are always children (and adults!) who don't like to get their hands messy!  As a fun sensory activity, we had out playing with shaving cream in the art area.  Children are very interested in this activity as they get to drive a small toy car through the shaving cream.  Even the most reluctant children will take a turn driving the car.  This is a good activity to do at home if your child does not like to fingerpaint or touch sticky things. 

We put a piece of plexiglass down on the table to make it smooth.  The plexiglass can be used on an easel for fingerpainting as well.
