Activities with Shaving Cream

Next to playing with baking soda and vinegar, activities with shaving cream are at the top of our list of favorite things to do!

We’ve used shaving cream for crafts, for art, for sensory doughs, and just to play in on numerous occasions! It’s such a great, versatile material, and it’s really easy to clean up because it’s basically foamy soap.

Whether you’re already a fan of the stuff, or you’re looking for an introductory activity, you’re sure to find something fun to do in the gallery below!

My personal favorite, and one of the simplest shaving cream activities ever, is Shaving Cream on the Window.
