🌿🚜 Learning Through Sensory & Imaginative Play 🚜🌿
Our toddlers have been enjoying a range of hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity and learning through play. Our construction sensory tray provided opportunities to dig, scoop, transport and explore using mini construction vehicles, sand, pasta and lentils. We also explored water play, encouraging the children to pour, fill, transfer and experiment with different materials.
Through these experiences, the children were developing fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, concentration, problem-solving, sensory awareness and imaginative thinking, while making choices and engaging with their peers and educators.
🌱 EYLF Learning Outcomes:
• Outcome 3 – Children have a strong sense of wellbeing – developing physical coordination and confidence through hands-on play.
• Outcome 4 – Children are confident and involved learners – exploring, experimenting, problem-solving and investigating materials.
• Outcome 5 – Children are effective communicators – expressing ideas and engaging in shared play and interactions.
✨ These experiences also connect with NQS Quality Areas 1, 2, 3 and 5, supporting intentional teaching, children’s wellbeing, an engaging learning environment and positive relationships.
