I just finished a great book called "The out of syn child." It is a wonderful book for parents, teachers and anyone who works or plays with an out of sync kid. I am now working on reading "The out of sync child has fun" a great book with sensory activities for kids. After reading the first activity I thought what the heck, lets give it a shot. It was a really good time I think the boys loved it, even Gavin with no sensory issues found it to be alot of fun. I got 2 pans and a bottle of shaving cream, each got a little mountain of cream to paint the pan and their bodies if they were comfortable. At first they were both hesitant and just used their hands.
I then put food coloring in it to give them some color. After a couple minutes I looked over and Gavin was covered tummy to toes in shaving cream.
Carson took a little longer to adjust to the sensations but eventually he did the same thing, I didnt post it because he was in his undies but it was pretty cute! I would suggest next time just doing it in the bathtub, easier cleanup and a larger surface to cover and paint. It was fast and easy and just a quick shower to clean them off. Other great mediums are pudding, or wet sand.
I used to let the kids in my Kindergarten class do fingerpainting in shaving cream. They loved it! It's a great way to practice writing letters with their fingers...much easier than holding a small pencil! :)
