The
Five W’s & An H of Sensory Boxes
Who: Little
Ones & Awesome Mommies
What: Sensory Activities are such an amazing way
for little ones to learn and play.
Believe it or not sensory trays/boxes/bowls help toddlers tap into all
five senses as well as promote independent discovery during playtime all while
building fine motor skills. Seems like
a win…win right?
When: During
Playtime. My little guy was engaged for
a good fifteen minutes and in toddler speak that is nothing short of epic
engagement!
Where: In an
area of your house or outside that you are not overly concerned about getting
messy.
Why: I was
worried my little guy was not getting dirty enough during playtime. I know right?
I will so regret even thinking this as he gets older and comes in the
house covered in mud. I thought a
sensory bowl was the answer and boy did we get dirty. (Well not like scary
dirty…but certainly bath dirty!)
How: Pick any box, bowl or pan and pick things
from around your house that would make fun discovery for your little one. I picked some wheat flower that had been
sitting way too long in the pantry and some little plastic letters. I am all about themes so I told Aiden we were
on an alphabet excavation!
