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
Children naturally use their senses to explore their environment. Sensory activities differ from other types of play as the emphasis on the senses amplifies the activity. This project and the materials in it (water beads, sensory sand, sensory toys, etc.) will have so many benefits.
1 Sensory experiences support cognitive development.
2. Sensory activities allow children to develop their knowledge.
3. Sensory-rich play is inclusive.
4. Play using the senses aids in developing and enhancing memory.
5. Sensory play encourages the development of fine and gross motor skills.
6. Problem-solving, exploration and creativity are all benefits of sensory activities.
7. Children who are agitated calm when doing sensory play.
8. Sensory play supports language development.
9. New and varied sensory experiences are fun.
10. Sensory activities assist children in learning differences and attributes.
11. Scientific thinking is supported through play with senses.
