Sensory Table Wonderland

Help me give my students a sensory play experience they will love all year long!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Summer's classroom raised $1,092

This project is fully funded

My Project

Preschool students learn through play and sensory play is a key component. This table offers a variety of uses including sand, water, Pluffle, Kinetic Sand, and more! With the diverse materials the students will experience a variety of textures and their creativity will blossom. My goal is to change this sensory table out once a month to offer many different types of sensory play.

Sensory tables can be transformed to meet the many themes we follow in preschool so they will be cherished all year long!

From water for our ocean theme to construction for a city building experience, children who have a variety of interests will be drawn to play at this sensory table.

I have 4 sections of up to 20 kids who are in my classroom so up to 80 students will enjoy playing with these materials.
