SENSORY TABLES

Last week RL created an album on our Facebook page totally dedicated to Sensory Tables.  The pictures in the album....seen HERE....are proof that a sensory table doesn't have to be a "table", it can be any type of container, with any type of material in it.  

My son when he was 11 months old in a pool of tinsel

Sensory activities provide children with another meaningful avenue for learning. A sensory table or a sensory tub full of various sensory materials is a worthwhile investment for hours of learning, exploring, and fun. Because children learn best by having "hands on" experiences with materials, sensory experiences are vital to young children's learning.

  2. Your post was a great reminder that I have HUGE bag of shredded paper. I'm going to fill a couple of rubbermaid containers with it next week and let the Hooligans go nuts. :)
    Thanks!!
