Young children learn about the world through their senses. They explore their environments through sight, sound, touch, smell, and often times taste. Sensory tables are a great way to allow a child to explore different textures and experiment with various objects that they probably don't have contact with on a daily basis. I thought it would be fun to create a mini sensory "tub" for C to explore.
I threw in black beans, feathers, small and large sequencing beads, pipe cleaners, silk leaves, pumpkins, google eyes, pom poms, various sized containers and cups, scoopers, sticky eyes, various halloween and harvest trinkets, and voila! Hours of hands-on, self-directed learning. . . I mean fun. . . takes place!
C has really enjoyed exploring her "tub!" We had a great time playing with it together today.
