Five little snowmen in a row sat! Out came the sun, and one went SPLAT!
Four little snowmen in a row sat! Out came the sun, and one went SPLAT!
Three little snowmen in a row sat! Out came the sun, and one went SPLAT!
Two little snowmen in a row sat! Out came the sun, and one went SPLAT!
One little snowman all alone sat! Out came the sun, and it went SPLAT!
This is the perfect counting activity.
Shaving cream is a great "messy play" sensory activity to do with toddlers and preschoolers
because even though it is very messy, it's super easy to clean up.
Some kids jump right in and have so much fun immersing themselves in the mess.
Others are hesitant and it might take awhile before they have the courage
to poke the tip of their finger into the ooey gooey messy shaving cream.
I love doing shaving cream snowmen because it allows us to count and add and subtract
and talk about number concepts again and again and again.
Tips: make very small snowmen.
I have the children "make it disappear" before they get more.
That means that they rub and rub and rub the shaving cream until it disappears...
it makes clean up much easier.
Keep a towel ready for the inevitable shaving cream swipe of an itchy nose or an eye rub...
Have FUN!
