We’ll keep it exciting with fun activities like touching different
textures and trying new foods. And we’ll make sure every sense gets
attention, whether it’s by playing with colorful stuff or listening to
cool music.-
Steffanie, your ideas are fantastic! Incorporating various textures, foods, colors, and music will indeed provide rich sensory experiences for the children. Great job!

I would continue to introduce different manipulatives or items that the children are able to interact with or experiment with. This doesn’t specifically mean get a new toy, but prepare or plan different things or activities that can help keep the children’s interests bright!
To support the emphasis of different senses, there could be activities that can present numerous ones like having a picnic, different tastes and smells, or having a garden, interacting with colors and textures!

Sheila’s ideas of introducing various manipulatives and activities to engage children’s senses and creating opportunities for taste, smell, and texture exploration are excellent for keeping the sensory space exciting and full of learning.

I like to change up my sensory table to learn explore and understand the theme of the classroom for that week or two. Spring growing theme I added clean dirt, tiny play rakes, shovels, watering cans, fake flowers of different sizes and varieties, fake worms and mini planter containers. Children were able to use all their senses to explore flowers all while playing and creating!
