The first sentence: "Young children seem to thoroughly enjoy playing with soap bubbles and shaving cream."

Explanation: the adverb "thoroughly" comes between "to" and the verb "enjoy," splitting the infinitive. Alternatives: "Young children seem to enjoy playing with soap bubbles and shaving cream thoroughly." or "Young children thoroughly seem to enjoy playing..." (first alternative is most natural).
