Shaving cream is a great sensory activity for young children and has a lot of flexibility for what direction you take it in to work on either fine motor, gross motor, or both!
Squeeze out a healthy amount of shaving cream in front of each child and invite them to explore however they want. As a bonus-- if you do this directly on a table you'll notice how clean it is after you clean up, the shaving cream will take off all sorts of stains.
