Shaving Cream Shenanigans

We mixed things up in Green Room today and took our sensory play outside!









Shaving cream + food coloring provided a simple yet delightful activity for our kiddos.


















They were fascinated by the texture of the shaving cream, lathering it on their hands and faces and enjoying the foamy sensation.








Some of our friends even opted to continue the rest of their outside play still covered in shaving cream!


















Other friends couldn't get enough of the shaving cream experience!


















What a fun way to explore textures and color mixing!

Love,

Earth Day Painting

In honor of Earth Day this month, we wanted our Green Room friends to engage with our earth's resources in a creative, hands-on way. We have some neighboring trees that love to shed their leaves into our back yard at school. So, we collected some of those leaves and tied them together to make.......



Paint brushes!











Then we had a fun painting session using our outdoorsy paintbrushes (and, of course, our fingers too!). The kids enjoyed exploring the texture of these new "paint brushes" and kept asking for more paint.



































We also added shaving cream onto our canvas. The shaving cream on the leafy paint brushes reminded us of snow on tree branches!



























Happy Earth Day, friends!

Love,
Teacher Katie
