Help me give my students a sensory light table to give them a chance to see what it's like to manipulate and feel different objects in a sensory table.

I have 14 amazing preschoolers with a big imagination and open mind to find new discoveries! They come to school everyday, ready to learn new things, and I am here everyday to help them along the way with each discovery they made.
Their way of thinking amazes me everyday!
This is the age where they are the most curious about the things around them. They make my job very enjoyable, knowing I am putting a lot of knowledge in such little minds.
As a 4 and 5 year old, one of the best ways to discover new things and get a better feel of what they're learning is by hands-on experience. A great way to get that experience and have that aid in the development of the students is a sensory table! It helps them develop their language and cognitive skills, as well as helps them develop emotionally and socially. This is a great way for the children to express themselves and their creativity, which is important at this age.
The students never got to play at a sensory table before!
Teaching at a school where almost all the students are in a low-income household, I don't think they normally get a chance to. I feel every kid should be able to see what a sensory table is like! Being a second year teacher, I unfortunately haven't been able to get a sensory table. There are so many different materials I can put at the table to see where their creativity takes them, aside from the materials already provided in the set.
Being in a school setting learning, it ideally is very structured. The sensory table is an area where it isn't a set of rules of how to play! This is an opportunity to express themselves freely!
