Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 5
 I don’t know about you…but I really have been missing being able to visit the beach lately! There are so many benefits to playing in the sand and exploring the beach! This week we are going to bring the ocean to our home with this wonderful ocean themed sensory bin activity. Sensory bins are a wonderful way to invite children to explore, discover, imagine, create, and learn whilst playing and engaging their senses.  Benefits include: Learning all about the different creatures in the ocean, fine motor skills as they manipulate and explore different kinds of objects and language skills as they expand their vocabulary during play. You will need: A tub/container Plastic fish and ocean creatures Seashells Sand Water (with a few drops of blue food colouring) Small sieves, spades etc to play with  Pour the sand on one side of the sensory container and then very slowly pour the water on the other side. Add your sea creatures, sea shells etc and invite your child to explore.   |
