A glance into class🧐

This week, our Explorers Class (12-24 months) discovered different textures through play! What you see: dry pasta, toddler-friendly scoops, crinkle paper, play eggs, soft yarn, farm animals. What they learn: acclimating to various textures (soft, hard, rough, smooth), fine motor skills (scooping, dumping, pincer grasp), power words (help, more, open), exclamatory words (wow, uhoh, weeee), and engaging in pretend play (hiding eggs, feeding animals). A general time frame for sensory bin play at this age is 5-10 minutes - then we move on!

Come join us for our next 6-week session beginning in March!
