Hands-on exploration

Sensory Play

This program can include any activity that stimulates a child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate, and explore which can lead to longer attention spans and focus in addition to improving their coordination and motor skills.

• It’s all about space, astronomy and fun as we make a galaxy in a jar. While this is a fun experiment, we will also dive into questions about galaxies: what they are, which galaxy we live in and more. With a few simple ingredients, we can understand how light reflects off dust and visualize starlight. It’s also a great time to introduce new vocabulary in a tangible way.
