J is obsessed with cars these days and I know that pretty much any activity that involves cars will be a hit with J. So, when I ran across our can of shaving cream I knew what to add to it.
Let me tell you, this was by far the most successful activity I’ve done with J in months!
I smeared a thin-ish layer of shaving cream on a cookie sheet. Then placed the cars on top…that’s it…simple
J loved driving the cars around an seeing the tire marks left in the shaving cream.
There were a few car crashes.
Then…
Then I threw the 2 year old in a bath with his cars and we had a car wash! The shaving cream washes off everything really easily. All it took was a few wet paper towels.
I just came across your blog and this is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for to get ideas for educational & fun activities I can do with my son. I’ve spent the majority of his nap going through your old posts and can’t wait to get started on your wonderful ideas!
Your comment totally made my day! I’m so glad you like the blog and will be following along.
Just found this on Pinterest- love, especially as a momma of two boys. Look forward to reading more of your ideas!
Read away! So glad you found my blog!
I was excited to see this activity, and bought shaving cream when I went to the store yesterday. I got the tray all ready when my son woke from his nap. He’s 26 months old. I knew he liked to be neat, but he kept asking me to wipe his hands off for him. 🙂 it turned into a water activity when I got a bowl of water out for him to clean his hands off. We need to do more messy activities I think! He had fun, and that’s what counts!
What a cute Idea!
Cars in shaving cream are a favorite around the Clubhouse! Actually anything with shaving cream is a favorite 😀 At least everything washes off when shaving cream is the culprit. We recently had cars in Gak, and that was a much longer cleaning process. All in the name of sensory fun! Thanks for sharing 🙂
So much fun!!! What a neat idea and super fun pictures!
So much fun! My kids love shaving cream too =-) I just wanted to tell you again how much I LOVE your header – so neat, clean, fun & makes me smile every time I see it =-) Thanks for linking up to TGIF! Have a great week =-)

That’s a cute thing indeed! My son is also fond of playing with cars, I just hope that nissan dealers ny also offers car toys for children!
Yeah, it’s pretty evident that he enjoys that a lot! My son is into cars too, and I can’t believe I haven’t thought of that myself. It’ll be like car wash day! Thanks for the idea Amanda.
My kids are keen on shaving cream and are so exited when they play with it. Anyway, awesome photos!
