Great idea, Karlia! We do something similar with cornmeal, but I think shaving cream would be more enjoyable for kids (because it's messier!). I've seen how kids learn more effectively through a variety of activities. When they use their senses, they seem to remember the information so much better. Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteSuper cool idea! I didn't expect to see a tutorial video among these blogs but it's a great change of pace.
ReplyDeleteKarlia! This is brilliant! I love how you made this an engaging exercise that is fun for the child! Having your daughter as your assist was great. Viewers were able to see a child do the activity and we watched as she did it with ease! Very effective! Great work!
ReplyDeleteCreative!
