Sensory Exploration (Colored Cooked Spaghetti)

|

Sensorial exploration is a main component of the Under 3 community. The classroom is composed of sensorial activities that the children are able to work with every single day. Sitting, standing, or at a mat,
the child is able to work independently with various materials including pasta, rice, oatmeal, feathers,
cornmeal, sand, and quite often water. In working with these various materials, the children are able to
enhance their sense of smell, touch, sight, and hearing. Children are also able to partake in dramatic
play with a collection of animals and scoops and explore the different facets of expressive language.

Washing a Table

Practical life activities allow the child to develop fine and gross motor control, self-confidence, thinking outside the self, and a feeling of being productive and belonging to the community. Practical Life involves care of the self, the environment, and grace and courtesy. Here, a child is using a sponge and bucket of water to clean a table. Very helpful!
