Another fun and exciting week has come and gone here at Forrest Crossing! This week was about different types of sensory activities. Sensory bins and activities are incredibly important to kiddos during their developmental growth. Children uses their senses so much while growing by taste, touch, smell, seeing, moving, and hearing! By using these senses, children are able to retain information on a much deeper level. We started this week out by doing edible finger painting! We had our teachers grab some whipped cream and food coloring, then let the children paint on the tables with it! Not only did they love the activity in general, but they also loved the way the whipped cream tasted! Our next activity was one that we continue to use multiple times throughout the year because our littles enjoy it so much- water beads!! Water beads are SO cool. The children love watching these beads start out teeny tiny, then grow over night! Our infants even love this activity! For our youngest of friends, we place the beads into big ziplock bags and tape them down to a table. The babies then get to pat the beads with their hands and move them around within the bags! Our older kiddos absolutely love getting to place their hands in giant buckets of beads and feel how squishy and cold they are. We love sensory week and getting to provide our children with sensory activities because it truly is so crucial to their brain development. We have had a blast this week and we are super excited to see what we will do next week!
