Shaving cream / Activity Analysis

Art

• The child learned about texture and sensory experiences by using their hands to explore and play with the shaving cream.
• They learned about color mixing as they swirled different colored shaving cream together.
• They developed fine motor skills by using their fingers to create patterns and designs in the shaving cream.
• They learned about cause and effect as they watched the shaving cream change consistency when mixed with water.

For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different tools or objects to create patterns and textures in the shaving cream. They can also try adding food coloring or liquid watercolors to explore color mixing further. Additionally, introduce other sensory materials like sand or rice for the child to mix with the shaving cream for a different sensory experience.
