IN-PERSON COMMUNITY WORKSHOP

Ooey Gooey Messy Fun! Designing Sensational Sensory Experiences

@Discoveryland Daycare, Edmonton West

Sensory fun for everyone! Are you ready to explore with all your senses? Are you ready to get hands on and messy with some sensational sensory ideas? That’s what we will explore in our workshop all about sensory play. Sensory play is a multi-model approach to learning delivered through the best way possible – through play! I’ll share with you some of my favourite sensory play experiences for children from 0-12 years! Creating a sensory rich environment is more than just toys and materials, it’s about using all your senses to create a play space that welcomes all children to explore and discover using a variety of their senses. From lights, textures and sounds to materials and play experiences that create unique learning experiences for young children. Join me as we find new ways to stimulate children’s curiosity to explore with their senses and engage in rich playful learning opportunities!

Objectives:

1. Define sensory play and identify how it’s important for children’s learning and development.
2. Understand the 7 different senses and explore sensory experiences to support each sense.
3. Planning a responsive sensory exploration play space
