Tile Writing in the Tub

We have been practicing our letters lately and I have been looking for ways to make it fun...well, here you go!  This is a terrific way for your kids to learn to form their letters without getting frustrated.  Just smear some shaving cream on your bathtub tile and you are immediately ready for some "handwriting without tears."  The preschool they attend uses this program in school and it has really been an amazing way for them to learn to write without the grueling task of the pencil grasp and the tedious fine motor skills that are not always present at this age.  They are so many other activities to do that are along this same line.  You can place flour or sugar in a baking pan and allow them to draw in there amongst many others.  Anyway...try it, your kids will smile and laugh while learning to write!!!

                                 Can't you just see the sweet satisfaction of a job well done!!  Yay!!

Kate working on her "E".  Maybe one too many lines, but who cares?  That is the point, just smear through and try again:)
