A Sensational Sensory Day – Getting Down and Dirty!
This week, the children in Magic Kingdom at Laurence Avenue enjoyed a day packed full of sensory activities. We started off the day by making sensory items that they could take to use at home. We made sensory water bottles with glitter and rice in them. The children were amazed to watch the water changing colors as they added different food coloring. We also made sensory gloves. To make the gloves, we took 1 plastic glove and filled it with either rice or flour. For an extra sparkle to the gloves, some of the children added glitter to their rice or flour.
With our take home projects done, we then moved on to the dirty work! The children had applesauce, yogurt, pudding, jello, chocolate syrup, and spaghetti that they used to spell their names, draw, and/or put their hands in. Some of the children wondered what would happen if they mixed the spaghetti with the chocolate syrup. They quickly realized that they had created a new type of spaghetti….. Chocolate Spaghetti!
The sensory table was filled with dirt, vehicles, and various containers. The children enjoyed driving the vehicles around in the dirt. They used the containers to build hills for their vehicles to drive over.
Our final area was a table with shaving cream. The children enjoyed drawing and writing in the cream. They also enjoyed pretending that the shaving cream was lotion and that they were relaxing at the beach. It was messy, but we all had a great time learning with our senses!
