A sensory table is a table full of materials (fall themed...beans, pumpkins, corn, pine cones, cups and scoops at the moment!) that get children to use their senses! Children learn and engage their senses by playing with what is in the table. A sensory table has so many benefits such as developing fine motor skills, developing cognitive skills, developing language skills, developing socially/emotionally, developing creativity, helps kids to relax and is FUN! Before we were able to dive in to the sensory table, we needed to learn how to play with the materials and learn the rules!

| Using our senses! |

| Over time, we will switch out the materials! |

| Really loving the sensory table! |

You can even make a simple sensory table using materials you have at home!
All you need is an empty bin of some sort and then decide what to fill it with!
Some ideas are beans, rice, pasta, water, sand, shredded paper, popcorn kernels...
The possibilities are endless!!!
Thanks for donating supplies to fill our table!
