HI all
Resources / activities from my group today:
sensory pouches in different areas / heights
‘I am special I am me’ family tree
Edible paint (thank you for the photos Summer)
Family member picture board using coloured flaps – ideas to extend this include using different materials for lifting the flaps to incorporate further sensory exploration
Piano mat and different household items within different areas of the room to encourage exploration of sound / sound discrimination
Music basket with visual cues to promote children’s choices – extension include using a decorated Pringles tube with laminated pictures cards that could then be posted through the lid – again this could incorporate some sensory textures on the outside of the tube
Large sensory box including ribbons , pompoms, sensory pushes and balloons
Family bags with photos / pictures of familiar people on one side and different textures on the other side – could be used in numerous ways including supporting transporting / enclosing schemas.
Story bottles – specifically supporting ‘ Going on a bear hunt’.
Use of ribbons and scarves tied together to pull out of a box ( like a magic trick)- engages joint attentions , sensory , playing peekaboo, could be used to support enclosing schema wrapping one self in the scarfs, naming colures and as props in story telling
Autumn themed treasure basket including range of natural resources, jars for filling and emptying, pumpkins, sensory bags / pouches, toy animals such as hedgehogs , squirrels, leaves , conkers etc
Use tubes and different sized pom moms – posting and pushing actives – problem solving adding further resources to extend such a pipe cleaners , different sized balls.
High contrasting coloured sensory bottles could be extend for older children using pipe cleaners and paperclips – exploring effects of using magnets
Wonderful ideas – please do feel free to add further photos!
