Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Sensory activities make for awesome hands-on fun and learning for young children as they explore and discover more about the world through their senses! Sensory activities can also calm a child, help a child to focus, and engage a child. It is why I want to provide sensory materials where students can be calm, focused and engaged with other children as they develop their fine motor skills, language and emotional development.

Since children are inherently wired to rely on their senses, a specific type of play—known as sensory play—helps them embrace and learn from them.

Therefore sensory play is a fun, educational, and crucial part of your child’s growth.
