Messy Ice Cream Sensory Box

June 9, 2011 by Maureen Spell 4 Comments

One thing I like about summer is that we can do all our messy fun things outside! Another activity we did during our ice cream unit was to create a shaving cream hide and seek sensory box.

I picked up these ice cream themed mini-erasers at the Target Dollar Spot. I can’t resist purchasing mini-erasers. They are so cute.

Then I filled a tub with shaving cream and scattered the mini-erasers in the white fluffy mess. You should have seen the girls’ faces when I said they could search in the box for all the ice cream erasers. They were thrilled!

She found one! (Trust me on this—lol!)

Lots of fluffy, white fun! A wonderful twist on our normal sensory boxes and a fun addition to our toddler and preschool ice cream unit.

Sharing is caring!

    great idea! Time to get out the shaving cream. We usually swirl it around a table, but a tub looks like WAY more fun!

    I love this idea for my daughter’s birthday party. How many cans did you use to fill the tub?

      I really can’t remember but I know I did not buy more than 2 cans.
