I LOVE shaving cream. \u00a0Not so much for actually shaving but definitely for sensory work. \u00a0I remember “cleaning” our desks in second grade with shaving cream and \u00a0it’s something I’ve done with all my students. \u00a0It is so great for so many reasons.<\/p>\n

Some people worry about sensitivity to getting the cream in one’s eyes or mouth so prefer to use whipped cream while others think you should never let children play with food. \u00a0I see both sides and have done both.<\/p>\n

\"SONYRecently I let the geirls play with different ones and discuss the differences. \u00a0We did: Shaving Cream, Shaving Gel, Cool Whip and Whipped Cream. \u00a0Honeybun liked the shave gel best because it was soft and Sugarplum liked the Cool Whip best because it was cold.<\/p>\n

After feeling each one they began exploring. \u00a0At first they tried to make Olaf but he melted like it was summer (which it is and brutally hot!) \u00a0Honeybun then realized she could make letters and started writing. \u00a0This one of my favorite things about shaving cream experiences with kids: they can draw, write, explore then wipe it away and start again.<\/p>\n

\"SONYIt is also great for cleaning tables! \u00a0After exploring a bit, I cleaned up the Cool Whip and Whipped Cream then gave them more shaving cream to spread around and clean the table with.<\/p>\n

\"SONYClean up is not always the easiest or funnest but a few tips are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Use a squeegee if you have one, it makes wiping away the cream a breeze! \u00a0(unless it’s too watery)<\/li>\n
  2. Use a DRY cloth first to get up as much as you can.<\/li>\n
  3. Then get the extra bits with a wet cloth.<\/li>\n
  4. If using whipped cream or Cool Whip, use a cleaner to get the sugary residue off (or shaving cream!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    (Because we were using our outside table, I just sprayed it down with the hose after squeegeeing and wiping with a dry cloth…not recommended for indoors!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
