Sensory fun!


ROSE ROOM SENSORY FUN!

With the rain returning, I thought it might be fun to bring in my Kiddy Pool, and fill it with lots of colorful plastic balls for some indoor play. Before jumping in, we reviewed all the beautiful colors by name.














I added a few more large beach balls to the mix, and my friends were off...throwing, catching, climbing in and climbing out, excited to explore and experience!

In addition I made some fresh "cloud" sensory clay using apple-scented hair conditioner and corn starch. My friends loved smelling the clay and before long, friends were making ice creams and pizza with it. So much fun!















And lastly, I put out a large sensory bin filled with rice, pasta, beans and seeds. I included plenty of tubes and cups for measuring and pouring. Another stimulating morning with lots of smiles and energy!















Have a great week everyone!

Sensory experiences in new year 2017!

FUN! FUN! FUN! IN ROSE ROOM


What a great way to bring in the new year with fun, new sensory experiences and play! Today Rose Room friends had the opportunity to walk on a plastic sheet, but what made this extra fun was underneath the plastic was a huge poster board which we covered with blobs of colorful paint.













My friends touched, walked and jumped on top of the plastic to create a beautiful piece of art work! From there we moved onto our sensory "moon" bin which was a circle shape and filled with flour and jewels which represented little asteroids and rocks that caused craters on our moon.











My friends had so much fun! The final sensory bin was "moon sand" filled with little astronauts, tin bowls, spoons, and foil cups. If we're going to walk on the moon, why not play on the moon? What a fun-filled day with imaginations soaring!













A few other choices we had were drawing with wet chalk on black paper, and playing with kinetic sand. Enjoy your week!
