Shaving Cream Slide


Shaving Cream Slide

Setting: outside

Ingredients:
5 cans shaving cream
Tarp
Slides (if desired or accessible)
Hose

Instructions:

  •    Put down a tarp on the ground (on a hill if possible) outside with slides at the beginning (if available).
  •    Empty shaving cream cans all over slides and tarp. 
  •    Have individual slide down the slide onto the tarp for some sensory fun! 
  •    Hose down with water before going back inside.

Purpose: Shaving cream slide is a fun way for individuals to experience different textures. Textures include the slide, shaving cream on their skin, slippery tarp, and grass if they slide too far! This exercise could also improve gross motor skills demonstrated in running and diving/jumping on the tarp. All of these actions use the individual’s range of motion, especially if the person is diving on to the tarp to slide face first. This could also challenge someone’s balance by attempting to stand up on the slippery surface of the tarp without injury.
