Parent Idea: Build sensory skill development while learning with shaving cream.

Shaving cream is a great way to get those little hands “dirty” and help children overcome some aversions to sensory issues.  I constantly have my children play in gooey things to help their senses develop.

This week we practiced forming the letters from the Muscle Mover Cards Uppercase with shaving cream and a place mat.

My five-year-old daughter practiced writing her upper case letters in shaving cream while my two-year-old son practices simple writing strokes that are appropriate for his age.

**Be sure to use shaving cream with care on some surfaces as it may cause damage.

Zoom to make a diagonal line.

Max the Monkey and his fun action words help children learn to remember the motions needed to create letters and numbers with Fundanoodle’s handwriting development module.

Today, we learn ZOOM.

When Max says Zoom, children will know to make a diagonal line down, up, in, out or down the middle.

Practice ZOOMing with your children to see just how much fun they can have while learning!

Teachers Love Fundanoodle!

Boy, do we love hearing from parents and teachers who love using Fundanoodle at home and in the classroom! Erin Webber, a Kindergarten teacher at David Cox Road School sent us these pictures of her kindergarten classroom learning and practicing their upper case letters with Fundanoodle.

One of Webber’s students using the “I Can Build Uppercase Letters Kit”.

Brian practicing his letters with the “I Can Write Upper Case Letters” Activity Book.

“My kindergarten kids love to use Fundanoodle in centers! They especially love the I Can Pound! Activity Bench and the I Can Build Upper Case Letters! Kit,” said Webber.

Fundanoodle activity books and kits are a ready-made resource for classroom use. Here are just a few of the many ways you can use Fundanoodle in your classroom!

-  Fundanoodle activity kits make ideal workstation activities for preschool and kindergarten classrooms.

-  Floor pads can be used as a free-time activity.

-  Writing tablets are ideal for kindergarten and first-grade teachers.

-  Gross motor cards are great for inspiration during every day PE class or for rainy day recess activities.

Are you using Fundanoodle activities and products in your classroom? Which ones and how do your students respond?
