    Sensory Activities - Week 3

    Uploaded by

    APG Kindergarten
    Sensory activities like sorting shapes and playing with water balloons allow children to develop important skills while exploring with their senses. Sorting shapes in a sensory bin helps children learn colors and shapes as well as fine motor skills by catching, scooping, and releasing items. Sensory play with water balloons gives kids a chance to describe textures like slippery, slimy, soft, and squishy as they explore with their senses. Sensory play in general encourages fine motor development and use of all five senses, which is important for learning and language development in a fun, self-directed way.

    Sensory Activities

    1. Sorting Shapes in our Sensory Bin is a fun activity for children to


    learn about shapes, colours while developing their fine motor skills.
    This activity is great for sensory exploration and involves catching
    and scooping up coloured shape buttons and sorting them into the
    matching containers. The catch, scooping and releasing action
    mimics that of a child using scissors and provides a safe and fun
    opportunity to develop scissor skills.

    2. Sensory play with the water balloons is a great opportunity for kids
    to explore and use descriptive words, describing their senses and
    what they were feeling; slippery, slimy, soft, squishy and heavy.

    WHY SENSORY PLAY?
     Sensory play encourages children to manipulate and mold
    materials, building up their fine motor skills and coordination.
     Sensory play uses all 5 senses, but the sense of touch is often the
    most frequent. Toddlers and children process information through
    our five senses. They learning through exploring these.
     Sensory play is process-driven, not product-oriented; it is the
    purest sense of exploratory learning
     Self-esteem: sensory play offers kids the opportunity for self-
    expression because there is no right answer and children feel safe
    to change or experiment with what they are doing.
     Language development and learning new words.
     It is fun!!
