How to start the activity: Spray the shaving foam on the table/tray. Identify the color. Say, “I wonder what will happen if I add red food color

What to do in the middle:  Notice what your child is doing.  Add into her play by drawing basic shapes, straight lines, and curves. Place a plain paper on the shaving foam and observe the prints the shaving foam makes. Extension:(to further challenge the child you may add the following steps)  Invite your child to mix two colors and notice the changes! Example, Red and yellow make orange.

How to start the activity: I see a straight line.  I will pull and stick my stickers on the straight line

What to do in the middle:  Acknowledge your child’s effort.  Identify the colors on the stickers.   You can draw a zigzag or curve.  If your child pulls off the stickers, it’s Okay.   Extension:(to further challenge the child you may add the following steps) Invite your child to stick the sticker as a pattern like, Red, blue, red, blue.

How to finish the activity: Bring the activity to an end by telling your child something like this, “After you stick three stickers, we will finish the activity. Decide where you will display the work.
