What is a sensory table?
A sensory table is a table especially designed for kids, consisting of bins that can be filled with materials, allowing children to explore them. There are endless options of materials to fill in the bins, such as sand, water, rice, beads, or other tactile substances that help stimulate the senses (touch, sight, smell).
Objects like spoons, cups, funnels, or small toys can be added to the sensory table to make play more enjoyable. Children can use their hands and tools to engage in sensory activities and explore the materials, promoting sensory development, creativity, and, most importantly, learning through play.
The versatile nature of a sensory table helps tremendously in boosting brain development by engaging little minds. It allows them to immerse themselves in endless creativity.
