The children enjoyed observing and exploring various fruit. We practiced naming the fruit and identifying the colours we see on them. The children took turns scooping each fruit into a mixing bowl and mixing everything together. Then we chilled the fruit salad in the fridge and tasted our colourful treat during afternoon snack. So yummy! (Click for more information.)

Our Casa East students embarked on a creative and hands-on adventure by making
their own playdough. This delightful activity was a huge hit, providing a perfect blend of
learning and fun. Playdough is a fantastic tool for young children to develop fine motor skills, engage their senses, and unleash their creativity. Our homemade playdough activity also introduced the children to basic measuring and mixing, making it a wonderful educational experience. (Click for full photos and more information.)
When we explore playdough and focus on manipulating the dough into specific simple shapes, we open an opportunity to develop proprioception: the sense that enables us to know where our body parts are, and what they are doing, without visually observing them. Manipulating the dough and aiming towards specific shapes is a fun way to experiment with pressure control while reinforcing this vital sensory system! (Please click for more information.)

Ice play provides a thrilling sensory experience. With the varying textures of ice, along with the cold temperature, this activity helps stimulate children’s growing senses and fosters their sensory exploration and cognitive development. Ice play also offers an opportunity for social interaction and communication as the children engage in collaborative ice exploration together. (Please click for the full photos and more information.)

To celebrate the Lunar New Year, we explored a lucky fruit – pineapple! The children were invited to touch and explore the pineapple. Then we removed the skin, cut it into pieces, and tasted the sweet fruit. These types of sensorial activities give us a chance to come together and build social skills such as parallel play and taking turns, as well as enrich language, fine motor development, and tactile discrimination.

Young children have a natural curiosity for the world around them. The children had fun engaging in our sink or float science experiment, which helps children explore the concept of buoyancy. Science experiments encourage children to explore their environment and to question how and why something happens. (Please click for full photos.)

The children are exploring their sense of touch using their feet! They walked along various materials and explored the different sensations through their feet, comparing how each felt. It is a great activity to help with balance and coordination, and can be fun to create at home. (Please click for more info and full photos.)

The children participated in a car wash during water play in the playground. They enjoyed filling their buckets with the sprinkler, squeezing and making soap suds with soapy water and a sponge, and cleaning different parts of the fire truck. What a great water play activity to do on a warm summer day!
