As I mentioned yesterday in my post about shaving cream for kids and how I think the shaving cream manufacturers got their target customer wrong, shaving cream is the most requested art material in our house. Kids just have so much fun with it!
Here are 60 ideas for using shaving cream for kids art, play, and learning.
There is everything here from shaving cream marbling and sensory table ideas, to holiday crafts with shaving cream.
Enjoy!
Shaving Cream For Kids
NOTE :: For those of you working in preschools/schools or for those of you worried about shaving cream, please read The Infamous “Shaving Cream” Article by Ms. Lisa’s Musings and Mayhems (Thank you to MaryAnn F. Kohl for bringing it to our attention!). It’ll make you feel better about using shaving cream.
