~FALL SENSORY BIN~
Sensory bins fall under Practical Life Skills ~ Sensory bins let a child explore, discover and create play using practical life skills (dumping, filling, scooping) and learn valuable play skills as well as understanding the senses. Our fall sensory bin allowed us to use our sense of touch, sight, touch, and sounds. The bin was filled with acorns, leaves, pumpkins and gourds that the children could explore.
Some days, when we have worked super hard or are just having a rough day, we NEED to play. We are lucky to have both a beautiful playground and an EC community room. To adults we may look like we are 'just' playing however play is a huge part of learning!
Play allows children to use their creativity while developing their imagination, dexterity, and physical, cognitive, and emotional strength. It is through play where we learn to adapt to our surroundings in the world.
