13 Ways to Play with Shaving Cream

E LOVES shaving cream. She loves the texture, and we’ve played with it quite a bit in different contexts – and she usually ended up covered in shaving cream 😉

Here are some of my favorite ways to use shaving cream in toddler activities – some of them are ours, others from other great kids’ activity blogs. I hope this list inspires you to play with shaving cream TODAY!

Check out my Shaving Cream Activities landing page for all the fun we’ve had with shaving cream over the years!

 

 

 

Learn Play Imagine did a whole day of shaving cream play, putting it in a bag, mixing it with glue and painting with it, and finally turning it into bathtub paint.

 

We’ve made colorful foam dough from three simple ingredients (then added an optional fourth one to make it fizzy) and had great sensory and imaginary fun.

We used a printing technique to make Marbled Leaves (also, Marbled Hearts for Valentine’s Day and Marbled Eggs for Easter).

while Learn Play Imagine mixed Kool Aid with shaving cream for a different sensory experience during their Kool Aid play date.
