Sensory Stones!

My Project

These materials would be an exciting addition to our classroom! We have our sand and water tables open every day for my young learners to play and explore in. Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with ideas of what to add to the tables that also correlate to our curriculum studies.

The addition of these stones would help to keep them excited about playing in the area.

The fruit and vegetable stones would be great to use during our Garden Study. I would love to add the fish when we learn about our Water Study. The butterfly stones would also be nice to include when we learn about gardening, since they are helpful pollinators.
