Creative Play and Sensory Experience

Help me give my students the ability to explore the sensory bin with different materials for different seasons. The creative play sets allow the students to engage in different forms of play and explore other jobs.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Benedetto's classroom raised $635

My Project

The sensory table items will help my students increase their fine motor skills. It will also help them touch and explore a variety of different textures and mediums. The creative play items will let the students discover different jobs and ways to help and care for people through different jobs.

The sensory items and creative play areas will help the students increase their vocabulary and strengthen their fine motor muscles.

The students will also learn turn taking and sharing by interacting with there peers and exploring the world around them.
