My Project

My students love to learn using hands on activities. Sensory play focuses on activities that engage your child’s senses, helping them develop language skills and motor skills. It also helps with cognitive growth, fosters social interactions and encourages experimentation.

Sensory play supports children in self-regulation.

Kinetic sand is a great way to incorporate sensory play into the classroom. It is virtually mess-free and can be adapted in so many different ways. It will allow my students to create and build a variety of different things and gives those students who need tactile exploration during center time.
