How to teach kids letters
This easy activity involved a bit of learning through play.
Here is how I put this simple kids shaving cream activity together:
Add foam letters into a bin.
Then, spray a bit of shaving cream on the opposite side of where you placed the foam letters.
Sandwich the foam letters together with shaving cream in between to create cream letters.
As you add each letter, call out their letter sound.
Easy and fun, right?
