Sensory Play Ideas

What is Sensory Play and Why is it so Important? Sensory/Messy play occurs when your child is interacting with tactile items that stimulate any of their five senses ( hearing, touch, smell, taste, sight). Sensory play engages your child’s senses which helps them explore and learn about the world. Sensory play builds nerve connections in your child’s neural pathways which develops their cognitive thinking skills. Sensory play allows your child to use their imagination and develop their own creativity as well as self expression. Below you will find some sensory activities as well as recipes. Adult supervision is always required for any activity. The sensory items below are suitable for children ages 2 and up. However, mamas always know best!

Magic Milk Experiment and Painting

The Magic Milk Experiment was one of the first science activities my son experienced. I decided it was way past due to post it. I did not have my website at the time I did the experiment. It was cool to go back into time and see how little my boys were. Time truly flies when you are having fun. Young children may be unable to grasp the science behind the experiment but they can still have fun watching the colors dance around! What is the Milk Experiment? The milk experiment uses milk, food coloring and dish soap. The magic in the milk experiment is the demonstration of surface tension between molecules. Milk is comprised of minerals, proteins and fats. When the milk combines with the dish the soap, it causes the fat molecules in the milk to break up. The molecules on the milk's surface have a strong connection with the dish soap's molecules. At the same time, the soap molecules try to attach to the milk's fat molecules. This causes a "film" or surface tensi...

Preschool Transition Tips and Songs

What is a transition? A transition is a period where you are moving from one activity to another. Transitions can be a trying time and the hardest part of your day. But it doesn’t have to be. Transitions need to be consistent (scheduled) and as short as possible. Children often act out when they are waiting too long for the next activity to start. Minimize your transitions so that your children are not waiting longer than 5 minutes. Fill the time with a song appropriate for the activity- sing a song about food during lunch time, sing a clean up song after center time, sing a goodbye song at dismissal. Planning your transitions in advance will make your life and your child’s life a lot easier. Choose a song or phrase for each activity so your child will know what to expect. Singing the same song or playing a song for a particular activity will provide your child with stability and a sense of control. There are so many things out of a child’s control that they often resist transit...
