Movement exploration

A story may not always involve sounds, or animals, or dolls, it may even have only movement exploration, try to re-direct, challenge, stimulate, their discoveries, by suggestions such as,
Do what you are doing in a slower way, or different direction etc.
The following are some suggested movement interpretations

Shaving cream:
Spurting out of the tube, foaming up, spreading on face, being used for shaving.

Laundry:
Being scrubbed on a wash board, being pinned to clothes, drying in the breeze.

The above mentioned suggestions offer opportunity for a no. of interpretations relating to a single idea. Also there are many activities and experiences that allow for a single possible interpretation, e.g.
Move like a pair of scissors
Show me how would you move if you were a needle on a sewing machine
Show me how your dog moves when you have just come home after being gone for a while and dog is glad to see you.
