It develops sensory awareness as they pull, tug, and feel the texture of the material using their hands. It also lets the children find ways to make things happen and use different actions he/she can do during the sensory exploration. Lastly, it practices and improves dexterity as the child picks up and holds the noodles as he/she digs for the toys. πŸ’ͺ🏻

During the activity, Arja even tries to eat and taste the pasta noodles. Charlie also tried making the food coloring make a mark around his lips.

Charlie also tries to crush the jellies on his hands and shows a "gigil" face πŸ™ˆ He uses his scooper and hands to pick up and hold onto the jellies.

While Lukas and Charlie were trying to crush their jellies, Arja holds onto her rubber duck and squeezes them too, she dips them again and water and watches the duck when she tries to squeeze them. She also uses tools like her scooper to explore the water sensory bin. 😊

Some goals for this activity are:
  • to explore sensory play
  • to learn sensory attributes (soft, wet, cold, etc.)
  • to allow the children to manipulate the tools and explore the materials uninterruptedly as they develop their motor skills through scooping, squeezing, mixing, etc.

  1. Whisk the sugar into the warm water until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add the liquid dishwashing soap and whisk to combine.
  3. Let the bubble solution sit for a couple of hours or overnight.
  4. All done! Now it’s time to test your bubble solution.

The toddlers used different tools as how they are used in daily activities. They used a whisk (or spoon) to mix their solution in their bin.
