Shaving Cream Fun!

Just last week it was one of those blistering cold days and the kids were stuck inside.  I brainstormed a little and remember a fun activity I did in Head Start when I taught Preschool.  So this post is a throw back to my good old days teaching.   I know some of you might think I am crazy for letting my kids just go at it with the Shaving cream, but the Kids love it and it serves two purposes.
I had the kids spray a big pile of shaving cream in front of them and spread it all over the table.  After covering the whole table and kitchen counter, we practiced our shapes, number, letters, and just fun pictures.

The kids had a blast and couldn't get enough of this whole shaving cream fun.  So after a while the shaving cream begins to dry and that when you take a warm wash cloth or paper towel and wipe down the surface. All my kids enjoyed clean it all up just as much as messing it up which is rare with kids. 

I love this activity because the Shaving cream works as a cleaner on the table, it clean off marker stains, crayons, pencil and any other marks you may have.  So can anyone say AWESOME....Cleaning and Playing, and keeping kids busy all combined into one, you can't beat that.  I use to do this all the time in preschool, I am so glad I remember this activities.  So after I got done, I sat down and brainstormed some more fun activities I had done back in the good old days of teaching.  I have a whole list of fun to try with my kids.  I guess I just go so caught up in the everyday coming and goings of raising kids, I forgot some of the fun easy thing I can do at home with them.   I getting excited to do more....stay tuned for more fun!!!
