    This week our sensory table was transformed into a place where firefighters are needed!  There were huge red flames in the table and the children’s jobs were to squirt the flames with water to put them out.  Not only it is fun to squirt water out of the bottles but it is also good practice for strengthening the muscles in the children’s hands.

  • What’s In Our Sensory Table this Week?

    This week in our Sensory Table, the children are enjoying “Scooping up the Pom Poms!” We’ve placed shovels, spoons, scoops and tongs in the table along with our large, medium, and teeny tiny Pom Poms. Now, its the preschoolers’ very important job to make sure the colorful fluffs find their way into our Pom Pom containers. We love the soft and cuddly feel of these fuzzy Pom Poms.  Each week we have a new theme in our Sensory Table, whether its an ewy-gooy messy zone or a simple sand and water theme, the Sensory Table Center always has something exciting to explore!

    At this age, children LOVE to pour and dump things out as I’m sure you have experienced at your own homes! The sensory table is a great oppurtunity for them to practice these skills.  This week the children have been able to play with packing peanuts.  In addition to pouring and dumping, they are able to explore the texture and weight of this fun new activity.
