Shaving Foam Writing

Shaving Foam Writing

 

This is a super easy activity!

 

This YouTube video shows you what to do…

All you need is:

  • Shaving foam (please check your child isn’t allergic first by doing a small patch test on their skin)
  • A baking tray.

 

Spray the shaving cream on a tray then let your child write and draw in the shaving foam using their fingers. You could have your own tray to model writing different shapes, letters and numbers. You could also put in magnetic letters and numbers for them to trace with the shaving foam. 

 

If your child isn’t keen on touching the shaving foam with their hands you could use a paintbrush or a smooth stick, this is good for helping them learn how to hold a pencil, strengthening their muscles ready for writing.

 

Most of all let your child have fun and enjoy exploring!

Thomas Jolyffe Primary School is determined for all pupils to succeed. Since the previous inspection, many changes have been made. The school has prioritised the development of the curriculum to promote high expectations for all pupils. Staff invest in pupils to build positive relationships with them. Personal development is a strength. The school provides opportunities to enrich pupils’ experiences. Pupils value participating in sporting competitions, such as cross country, football and netball. They also take on positions of responsibility, including school councillors and inclusion champions. Pupils value the leadership skills that they are developing. The school has developed an inclusive environment, where all pupils participate in every aspect of school life. Recently, the school has had a new library. The pupils are very proud of it and say, ‘It is a reading wonderland. It is like walking into another world.’ (OFSTED April 2024)
