This project is not currently eligible for funding.
I am a teacher heading into my first year of teaching preschool. I would love to be able to add some sensory tables to my classroom for my students to be able to learn through sensory play. Sensory play helps our young learners learn through problem solving and creativity. It will help our young students to develop language skills because they will be interacting with new textures like the kinetic sand. Sensory tables can help encourage the development of fine motor skills as well.
With 3- and 4-year-olds we are constantly working to improve and enhance fine motor skills.
Many of the items like the string and beads, building blocks, or the writing pads are activities to help our young learners with their motor skills. The hands of 3- and 4-year-olds are not developmentally ready to be writing with pencils so we need many other ways to teach them to write letters, numbers, and names. Motor skills are developed through activities like using playdough and building blocks. All of these items will help support learning in my 3-year-old classroom.
