Early Writing
My preschoolers are obsesssed with Shaving Cream. It is a great tool for early writing and I use it a lot for shape and letter formation. I squirt it right on our table in our classroom. Iāve held up pictures/flash cards/items around the room of various shapes and letters for them to try to write. It can give me a feel on who needs additional help as Iām watching them. I also love when they request to just play in it.. because while theyāre engaged in unstructured play, they are still practicing early writing, being social with their pals about their unique creations, and using their imaginations.š”Itās super easy to clean up and makes the room smell fresh! (AND itās only $1!! A little goes a long way)
Add excitement to Homework!
Iāve actually used shaving cream manyy times at home to spice things up for Teaghan with her kindergarten homework (she is NOT a fan of HWš). If I ditch the homework notebook and break out a baking sheet and shaving cream, she will happily practice writing her sight words. I find it much more beneficial if she is engaged and not crying during homework… because no one has time for that! Oh, and I donāt call it āhomeworkā. š
Use it for art! Marbleized shaving cream was a hit.
One recent project we did in PreK3 was marbleized shaving cream. I squirt some shaving cream on a baking sheet for the children to smear all around their tray. They picked which colors of food coloring they wanted to add. We put a few drops on top of their shaving cream and used the bottom of our paint brushes to swirl the colors around. When they were finished swirling, they pressed their paper on top. I used a ruler to scrap the excess off the paper. They were in awe with the cool designs they were creating! We turned them into Mittens to finish up our letter M week.
PumpedĀ forĀ Preschool!
