Celebrating 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 play is not only fun for preschoolers but also a powerful tool for supporting and enhancing their learning in various ways. Sensory play provides many benefits such as challenges children to think critically and solve problems. It also helps young children grasp early math and science concepts. Through activities like measuring, pouring, counting, or sorting objects by size, shape, or color, children begin to develop foundational skills for math. Sensory play also encourages scientific thinking as children observe and investigate the properties of various materials and promotes vocabulary and communication skills.
Sensory play is an essential tool for early learning because it actively engages children in the process of discovery and provides rich, hands-on experiences that help with a wide range of developmental skills.
Whether through enhancing cognitive abilities, fostering social and emotional growth, or promoting fine and gross motor skills, sensory play is a foundational element in a preschooler's learning journey.
