Create a simple invitation for sensory play with a few toys and a bin of shaving cream and glitter!
So, the shaving cream and food colouring was a bit hit last week (even though it was dollar store shaving cream, and absolutely horrible, drippy,sloppy stuff).
This week, we tried again with a better brand of shaving cream. Ooooooh, so light and fluffy!!! And for some extra fun, we added glitter! Miss Mess had a super time playing with the farm animals and the Little People in her bucket of glittery foam!
As you can see, the car-lovin’ little man preferred to play with the simple cardboard box activity that I set up for him earlier this week. He’s hardly played with anything else for days. He LOVES that box!
Mmm-hmmmm…. I think we’ll be doing this again!

OH BOY! Glitter…you are brave! I used some today and I swear it is in ingrained into my skin!
I know! I’m not usually a big fan of glitter because of the huge mess factor, but when it’s in a contained activity like the foam, or in playdough, I can handle it. lol You’re right about it being ingrained! I rinsed them after and the glitter just kind of stuck to their arms. I’m thinking there will be some floating around in their bath-tubs tonight.
