Sensory ideas

We have sand tables inside our classrooms and outside in our playground, but we only have sand outside in the ones in our playground; the sand is too damaging to our floors, so inside we use other sensory materials in our sandbox.

A few pictures of some of the items we use are found here....

We use:

• Packing peanuts- both the dis solvable and non- dis solvable kind.
• Ground up plastic
• Ground corn meal
• Beans
• Rice
• Water
• Snow
• Cut up paper (also including scissors to cut it up)
• Bows
• Corn starch and water -
  
• Water
• nature items
  
• any fun, safe items we can find

Add scoops, laundry caps, funnels, spoons, magnifying glasses, and other items to enhance the fun.
