Check out our "Fall Themed" Sensory Table! I love Fall, especially the colors. I saw this lentil soup mix at an Amish shop.The colors reminded me of Fall.Thus, instead of eating the soup mix,we played with it!
I filled a shallow plastic container with the mix.Next,I added lots of tools for scooping,pouring and measuring. If you can't find soup mix like this one,you can put it together yourself! You will need lentils of various colors and brown rice. This activity reinforces Science Development and Hand-Eye Coordination.Trust me,it will be a big hit!
Hurray for Fall!

The students at our school just love this kind of play - they will sit all day and scoop away!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what you think about this..in my country (Croatia) using food in this sort activity is not allowed...it's not prescribed, but advised, but still...my supervisors do not aprove of it, because they think we might send the children wrong message...that it is ok to play with food and that it is not ethical in these times, when millios are starving. I personally do not think that message is being sent, but...I still feel intimidated by this request. What is your opinion on the subject?
ReplyDeletehow about bird seed instead of edible (human) food?
ReplyDeleteI love the bird seed idea! We could then put it out in the park for the birds instead of throwing it away. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea, love it. Thanks so much for sharing this idea with us!
