Messy play is more than just fun—it’s therapy in disguise!
Shaving cream on a tray gives kids valuable tactile input, helping them get comfortable with different textures while strengthening fine motor and prewriting skills.
💡 Try this at home:
-Spread shaving cream on a table or tray.
-Let your child draw shapes, letters, or numbers with their fingers.
-Add a few drops of food coloring or essential oils for an extra sensory twist.
It might look messy, but the benefits are huge:
✨ Improves sensory tolerance
✋ Strengthens finger muscles
🧠 Builds early writing and motor planning skills
😊 Encourages creativity and confidence
👉 Pro tip: Use a cookie sheet or bathtub surface for easy cleanup.
Let them squish, draw, and explore—the mess is worth it!
