Sensory Play with a Purpose

Help me give my students sensory bins for sensory play with a purpose.

Mrs. Weymouth Petree Elementary School

Winston Salem, NC Grades PreK-2

My Project

I want to give my students sensory bins they can enjoy and interact with. My students can explore multiple senses, such as sight, sound, touch, and smell, through the materials in the bins .Students can learn so much through sensory bins, and it's a fun way of learning.

Students can develop their language skills, cooperative play and socialization with peer and they are fun and foster lots of learning.

The students stay actively engage when the bins are designed around their interest. By using sensory bins my students have a more hands on learning experience.

Students can build fine motor skills through actions like scooping, digging, and pouring. Adding toy tools like spoons, shovels, and tweezers can also help develop coordination.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
