Sensory
- The child learned about different textures and how the slime feels in their hands. This helps in developing their sense of touch and tactile discrimination.
- Playing with slime can enhance the child's sensory processing skills as they explore the gooey substance, noticing its stretchiness, stickiness, and squishiness.
- By engaging in the activity, the child experienced sensory stimulation which can contribute to their sensory integration and regulation.
Encourage the child to explore different types of sensory activities, such as playing with kinetic sand, water beads, or finger paints to further develop their sensory exploration and stimulation.
