Hey there!
​

Ready for some hands-on fun? Today, we're diving into the world of tactile play for kids, featuring the wonders of one of our favorite tactile tools...shaving cream! Check out some of our best ideas for shaving cream play below.

​

Many of our kids are ready to jump right in when it comes to messy play, but for some kids who experience tactile defensiveness, getting messy can be struggle. We've also included some tips and strategies for kids who are more reluctant to participate in messy play or unfamiliar tactile play experiences.

​

Enjoy!
