Pouring at sensory table

Sensory

• The 2 year old student learned about the concept of texture through the different materials used in the sensory table, such as water, sand, and beads.
• By pouring and transferring the materials from one container to another, the student developed their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
• The activity allowed the student to explore cause and effect as they observed the changes in the sensory materials when pouring and mixing them.
• Through sensory play, the student also engaged in early scientific exploration by using their senses to observe and investigate the properties of the materials at the table.

For continued development, consider introducing new materials with varying textures and densities to encourage further sensory exploration. Additionally, you can incorporate measurement tools such as cups and spoons to add a math component to the pouring activity. Encourage the child to describe their sensory experiences using descriptive words like "wet," "gritty," or "smooth."
