Creative Chaotic Play Time Activities
Discover a world of fun and learning with the Preschool STEM Bundle, packed with over 12 engaging themes, each offering approximately 15 activities. From sensory bins and experiments to games and more, this low-cost bundle includes instructions, templates, and even book suggestions to stimulate your child's curiosity.
Sensory play is an excellent way to engage children, promoting cooperative play, language development, and fine motor skills. By immersing themselves in a variety of textures, colours, and smells, children can experience several senses at once, fostering a deeper understanding of the world around them.
One such activity is jelly digging, where hidden toys are set in a tray of jelly for toddlers to dig and squish through. Another popular choice is Oobleck play, created by mixing cornstarch and water, offering a unique, non-Newtonian fluid experience.
Finger painting with washable, non-toxic paint is a classic sensory play favourite. For a more structured activity, there's a printable playdough mat available for pairing with playdough and cookie cutters.
Outdoor sensory play also features prominently, with chalk drawing on driveways or sidewalks providing a mess-free, creative outlet. For edible fun, frosting playdough and whipped cream sensory play offer safe and tasty experiences.
Pudding slime, cloud dough, and Kool-Aid playdough are just a few examples of the many sensory play recipes available. Water play with sponges and a cereal sensory bin are also great options for indoor play.
Sensory play offers numerous benefits beyond just fun. It aids in motor development, play skills, language development, and using the five senses. It can also help calm anxious or worried children, build a connection with them, and even help them focus.
Some sensory materials, like playdough and shaving cream, can settle and soothe, while others, like foam building blocks and a rainbow rice bin, can help keep kids' attention and build their connection with you.
Creative activities such as painting with corn, leaf rubbing with crayons, and even baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, add an element of surprise and excitement to sensory play.
Rainbow spaghetti and a rainbow rice bin are colourful additions to sensory play, providing a sensory feast for young minds. And for those looking to create their own art supplies, instructions for making homemade chalk and edible finger paints are also included.
Whether indoors or outdoors, sensory play offers a wealth of opportunities for toddlers and preschoolers to explore, discover, and create. With the Preschool STEM Bundle, you'll have all the resources you need to make sensory play a regular part of your child's learning journey.
