Sensory
- The child explored different textures through the sensory experience of feeling the soft, foamy shaving cream in their hands.
- They engaged their sense of smell as they experienced the scent of the shaving cream, adding a multi-sensory dimension to the activity.
- The child practiced fine motor skills by manipulating the shaving cream, squeezing it, and creating patterns in it.
- Through the sensory play with shaving cream, the child also developed their hand-eye coordination as they observed and interacted with the material.
Encourage continued development by introducing additional sensory materials such as sand, water beads, or playdough for the child to explore. Encourage them to use different tools like spoons, cups, or even their fingers to manipulate the materials and create unique sensory experiences. Consider adding scents like vanilla or lemon extract to engage their olfactory senses further.
