The latest fun in the sensory table is edible!! Needless to say, it has been a hit!
This was Carter first thing in the morning. He is NOT happy to see the lid on. Can you tell?
And he's off!! I added spoons and the toys with handles and scoops. I'm going to try and keep these on hand for daily practice. We're gearing up for self-spoon feeding.
Hard @ Work!
His work area.
Tasty!
You do not need a sensory table (sand and water table) to do this! Tupperware works just as well!
Check out the skills involved in this fun:
Sensory
- Smell, check!
- See, check!
- Taste, check!
- Touch, check!
- Hear, check!
Fine Motor:
They use their pincer grasp to grab the tiny Cheerios AND use their fine motor skills to grab the tools.
Self Help:
This is another Early Childhood skill that the little ones are developing at the moment. Carter's trough-o-Cheerios is defiantly letting him practice "self help." However, we may be practicing Childhood Obesity Skills too....he LOVES going into his room and grabbing some Cheerios! Ha ha!
Omgosh! That first picture of Carter is too cute! Like, MOM why is the lid on!? Great idea! I just can see me following Luke with the dust buster!
