Shaving Cream!

     Today the children explored with our favorite shaving cream.  They love watching the streams of shaving cream come out as they press on the buttons to release the fluffy substance.  Piles of shaving cream are pick up with hands and squished all around.  Many children clap their hands together as shaving cream flies in all directions and onto faces!  Soon faces are slathered making santa beards and body parts are soon to follow.  The children soon begin to cover their whole bodies in the fun fluffy substance.  They look like ghosts as soon their bodies are covered from head to toe.  The cleaning begins as we bring out another bucket of water with sponges.  Bodies and areas of the deck are cleaned with our soapy, lathery substance. The fun was washing of bodies and butts as laughter broke out as they washed themselves!  More shaving cream was needed of course in this process as the fun was to wash it off.  Wonderful soapy sponges were squeezed over and over wringing out the water.  The children laid their bodies on the deck and began swimming in the lovely shaving cream.  Lyla was singing "Rub a dub dub, 4 men in a tub", as her 4 friends and sister played around her.  They took turns taking "baths" in and out of our sensory tubs as they washed themselves.  We brought out the water hose and the children watched as they washed away the foamy fun.  Cleaning their bodies after our sensory fun is always a chore.  But so worth the effort after seeing their smiling faces and laughter from our sensory play!
