Extending from our shared group learning experiences on sensory play, the children were invited to be involved in measuring, mixing, and creating playdough. However, this time they were provided with popsicle sticks and “sand” as a material for exploring textures.
Fine motor skills, creativity, language skills, and imagination were the core of the learning for the children. The children were encouraged and given unhurried time and space to mix and blend sand and dough, and to use the popsicle sticks however they want, which in turn, assists them to build their confidence and express their ideas.
