Played with shredded paper and animals

Sensory

• The 1-year-old student engaged in exploring different textures by touching shredded paper and feeling the animals. This sensory play helps in developing tactile perception.
• By observing the animals amidst the shredded paper, the student practiced visual discrimination skills, differentiating between various shapes and colors.
• The activity involved listening to the sounds made by crinkling paper and interacting with the animals. This auditory experience enhances the child's sensory awareness and auditory perception.

For continued development, you can introduce sensory bins with various materials like rice, beans, or sand paired with different animal figurines to further enhance sensory exploration. Incorporating scented materials or playing calming music can also add elements of olfactory and auditory stimulation to the play experience.
