Here is a simple preschool or toddler back to school sensory activity! You only need a few things, making it simple and fun!
What you’ll need:
- Bus print out (template provided below)
- Shaving cream or for younger children you can use cool whip! Makes it fun and edible
- 1 small drop of yellow food coloring
Have your child paint with a paintbrush or use their fingers for a more in depth sensory experience. We love doing the activity while singing Wheel's On the Bus! Another great activity to incorporate, would be letter identification or sequencing the word bus!
