#EXPLORING with #VEHICLES in #SHAVINGCREAM 🚗🚙🚢🚂🚁✈️🚀🛶🚆🚲🚕🚇🚗🚙🚢🚂🚁✈️🚀🛶🚆🚲🚕🚇 while some kids find the #texture of shaving cream to be very relaxing and organizing, others are extremely wary. You would never know that the kiddo in the pictures did not want to touch the shaving cream at first. We started off by handing him a brush and slowly moving the cream closer to the edge so that the cream would "accidentally" touch his skin. At first, he wasn't sure how he felt about it, but as he continued to explore he became more and more okay with the shaving cream touching his hands and then out of nowhere, he began spreading it on his nose, the smock and then with some prodding, on his hands. He looked so proud of himself for trying something new. By allowing him to explore at his own pace, he was able to gain comfort and fully engage with the material! #waytogobuddy #TheMaterialLife #vehicles #transportationunit #earlylearning101 #toddlerplay #teachertypes #playdiscovercreate #inspiredchild_materials #happytoddlerplaytime
