Objective

By the end of this lesson, your child will have fun exploring basic Science concepts through sensory activities.

Materials and Prep

Materials needed: Water, ice cubes, plastic containers, food coloring, safe household items for exploring (e.g., wooden spoon, cotton ball).

Ensure a safe and spacious area for exploration. Have a towel or mat ready for potential messes.

Activities

1. Sensory Ice Play: Fill a plastic container with water and add ice cubes. Let your child touch, feel, and explore the cold ice.

2. Color Mixing Fun: Add a drop of food coloring into water and let your child mix colors using a wooden spoon.

3. Texture Exploration: Provide safe household items with different textures for your child to touch and feel, like a cotton ball or a soft cloth.

Talking Points

• "Look, the ice is cold and hard. Can you touch it gently?"
• "Wow, when we mix blue and yellow, we get green! What color is this?"
• "Feel this soft cotton ball. It's so fluffy! Can you touch it too?"
