Not Just For the Face

What's better to play with than ooey, gooey, foamy shaving cream?  For a three-year-old, there isn't much else that tops it!  When I taught school I would occasional spray this on the desks for my students to play in and when we were done I would have bright shiny clean desks!  I decided one day when searching for something fun for my son to do that he'd probably love it too!  It was a fantastic sensory play activity.  He rubbed it through his fingers, painted shapes all through it on the counter, commented on how it smelled and was amazed how it disappeared when he rubbed it in his hands.  We had a great time!  I would highly recommend it!  BE WARNED: this will take the paint/finish off wooden objects!  So, stick with hard surfaces.  And makes sure you are close by to ensure no one tries to eat it!  If shaving cream makes you nervous, you can put baby lotion on a piece of aluminum foil and you get a similar affect!  Now, go get messy with your fingers!
