On a normal Friday at school we practice our fine motor skills. Today, let’s focus on sensory activities! These ideas all involve water so to eliminate a mess do this in the tub or outside if its warm enough. 🙂
Toy Washing Station: Fill an empty plastic bin with soapy water and give your child toys to wash. (Make sure the toys are water safe!)
Sink or Float: Use the same toys or find different objects from around the house and see if they sink or float. This is a good time to practice vocabulary with your child. Model language by talking them through what happens to each object. Ex: “What happened to the toy car? That car sunk to the bottom” “What do you think will happen to the ball? Look! The ball floats!”
Pouring Station: Give your child plastic cups, measuring cups, pitchers – anything you have around the house – and allow your child to practice pouring the water.Â
