Materials needed: Large plastic bin, various sensory materials (e.g. rice, beans, sand, water beads), scoops, cups, and small toys.
Instructions:
1. Set up the sensory bin by filling it with one or more sensory materials.
2. Place scoops, cups, and small toys in the bin for children to use during exploration.
3. Encourage children to use their hands or tools to explore the sensory materials, describing the textures, colors, and shapes they encounter.
4. Facilitate conversations about the sensory experience, asking open-ended questions like "How does it feel?" or "What do you see?"
5. Allow children to freely play and explore in the sensory bin, fostering their sensory development and fine motor skills.
Outdoor Activity: Nature Scavenger Hunt
Materials needed: List of nature items to find (e.g. leaves, rocks, flowers, sticks), baskets or bags for collecting items.
Instructions:
1. Create a list of nature items for children to find during the scavenger hunt.
2. Provide each child with a basket or bag to collect their items.
3. Lead children on a nature walk around the outdoor area, encouraging them to search for and collect the items on their list.
4. Support children in identifying and discussing the items they find, promoting their observation skills and knowledge of the natural world.
5. After the scavenger hunt, gather together to share and compare the items collected, fostering social interaction and communication skills.
Both of these activities provide children with opportunities for hands-on exploration, sensory stimulation, and learning through play, promoting their overall development in a fun and engaging way.
