Sensory Play

Help me give my students sensory play toys and an awesome caterpillar climber for physical development. Children at a young age learn and explore with their senses and physical play.

My Students

Children in my classroom are learning all the basics of education and how to interact in social experiences through physical play, music, art, routines, and sometimes redirection.

In younger classrooms I see children blossom new bonds with their peers and all of the adults in their school family.

I've observed through these secure bonds it's easier for children to trust adults and learn.

Children in my preferred age group are able to take in so much information and retain it at such a young age, and it's such an amazing job to have and watch them use the tools given them to go onto the next stage in life.

My Project

With the water and sand tables children will practice waiting their turn and side by side play. This is the first steps to creating interactive play with peers and will move towards sharing and taking turns.

An important part of my job is to get children socially ready to move to the next grade and by using these two tools I can implement social engagement with my students.

The caterpillar will promote safe physical activity, and social interaction in the tunnel. It will also encourage kind words such as excuse me, can I play, and can I have a turn?
