Activity of the Day: Shaving Cream Smoosh

Squirt some white fluffy shaving cream (the traditional style not gel) on a tray or on a smooth washable surface. Put an old t-shirt or a smock on your little one(s) and allow them to smoosh the shaving cream around with their fingers. Encourage them to draw shapes or letters in the cream. Discuss words like ‘smooth’, ‘soft’, ‘squishy’, ‘slippery’, etc.

For smaller children who still put things in their mouths, use the extra creamy style whipped cream instead of shaving cream.

Don’t like the mess? Try putting some shaving cream into a gallon sized ziplock bag. (Squeeze out the extra air) Your child can draw on and smoosh the bag….mess free!

Have FUN!
