Goodstart Early Learning Manunda

Our Kindergarten children at Goodstart Manunda enjoyed a wonderful hands-on sensory experience as they created their own scents through play! 🌸🌿

Using natural aromas and assorted open ended material, the children explored their senses by mixing and choosing different scents to create unique sensory combinations. This fun and interactive experience encouraged creativity, curiosity, communication, and fine motor development.

Hands-on learning experiences like these help children build confidence as they explore the world around them through touch, smell, and imaginative play. 💛

Today in our Kindergarten room at Goodstart Manunda, the children explored scents and senses through creative playdough experiences! 🌿✨

Using their sense of smell and touch, the children were invited to select their own scents to add to the playdough, encouraging independence, curiosity, and sensory exploration. From calming lavender to refreshing citrus, each creation became a unique sensory experience.

Through hands-on play, the children developed fine motor skills, creativity, language, and confidence as they described the different smells, textures, and feelings they experienced together. 💛

What a wonderful way to learn through play while engaging our senses!
