Today we started with some sensory fun:
Hands in shaving cream!
Sensory activities like these have so many benefits, including:
- 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.
- Encourages Imagination and creative play.
- Language development- experimenting with language and descriptive words.
- Building up their fine motor skills and coordination, thorough encouraging children to manipulate and mold materials.
- Unstructured and open-ended rather then product-oriented. It is the purest sense of exploratory learning.
The children made circles and waves and oceans with sharks and many other stories.
More fun from today:
The children practiced their cutting skills on thick ribbon.
Using it to decorate a palace!
Chana copies the word 'palace'.
Mayer and Ido enjoyed a new book on cars.
They had a conversation about the red racing car.
Ido told Mayer he would drive in his car.
Ido told Mayer he would drive in his car.
Chana fixed the motor cycle, using a variety of 'equipment'.
Ready to race :)
