Help Pre-K Use All 5 Senses
Funded Sep 1, 2019
My students were SO excited to have all of these sensory table materials! They saw me unpacking them and said it was like "Santa had come to visit". They couldn't believe that someone would donate all these things for us just so we could enjoy it all and learn from it. They couldn't wait for me to put some of it out the next day!
Sensory play is important because it encourages problem solving skills as well as different math and science skills like sorting, measuring and comparing. By stimulating a child's senses with different materials, it helps their brains develop by building new connections. When a child is allowed to use multiple senses to accomplish a task, they will learn more from the experience and retain the information better. So far this year, we have used measuring materials with the beads you donated and played 'feed the turkey' with bottles and Pom poms. We look forward to using the noodles soon! Thank you again for your generous donation!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Lloyd

Sensory bins aren’t just fun, they are an important part of an early childhood learning experience. Young learners learn best when they can touch and feel something. Sensory bins provide opportunities for children to learn in meaningful ways. Children can practice many skills through open-ended play. They can measure sand, sort beads by color, practice fine motor skills by picking up pot pom poms tweezers, etc. Having a sensory bin in the classroom can support a wide variety of academic skills. I’ve listed just a few of those skills for you below: Oral language development Creativity Imagination Capacity Volume Fine motor skills Measurement Critical thinking skills We know that children learn best with their eyes, ears, and hands. When kids can see, smell, touch, and even hear something – the learning experience is more meaningful to them, and therefore more effective so sensory bins make perfect sense in the preschool and kindergarten classroom.
