Spring is in the air!! The toddlers in my classroom have been showing an interest in spring flowers for the past few weeks. Based on my observations and their interests and play experiences prompted me to set up this spring activity. Easy and simple activity which encouraged everyone to participate. The young toddlers exhibited emerging positive social interest, including self- confidence and collaboration. Through this sensory exploration, the toddlers developed their awareness about textures, colours and also exhibited emerging eye-coordination skills and fine motor skills. An Ode to Spring!!
They created their own unique flower garden and at the end they wanted to make a special tiara😊!!

Sensory play!!

1. Sensory play: where curiosity meets fun! Explore, discover, create!
2. Get messy, have fun, learn forever! Sensory play for kids!
3. Touch, taste, smell, hear, see... Sensory play is all about discovery!
4. Sensory play: nurturing little minds, one texture at a time.
5. Play with purpose: sensory play for a stronger foundation!

What is Sensory Play?
Sensory play is an activity that stimulates a child's senses: touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight. It helps little ones develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially.
Examples:
1. Playdough (touch)
2. Sensory bins filled with rice, beans, or sand (touch)
3. Finger painting (touch, sight)
4. Nature walks (sight, smell, touch)
5. Cooking or baking (taste, smell, touch)
6. Music or dance parties (hearing, sight)
7. Ball pits (touch)
8. Water tables (touch)

Music 🎼 & Movement!

Using stick puppets, flash cards and props!!

Importance of Music 🎼 & Movement in the process of development of Toddlers!!

Music and movement is an everyday component of our curriculum.
We sing songs with simple hand gestures and facial expressions to help the toddlers transition from one activity to the next with ease.
Responding to music comes naturally to most of the toddlers and provides a constant source of joy and happiness😊

Over the last few weeks, I have seen many of the new young toddlers focus on sounds and enjoying new and familiar songs and rhymes.

Recently they have become more engaged in singing and demonstrate their interest and excitement through simple finger play, hand gestures, and actions👶
So one morning as we were getting ready for our outdoor play, I took out these props and a few stick puppets which we had created.

I invited them to pick up any of their own choice as we sang~ 🎵 (tune head & shoulders, knees and toes)

🎵Hats and mittens,
Coats and boots( 2 times)
All in winter!

Keeps you warm and cozy(2 times)
In the snow.

👶They will exhibit the names of the winter gears

👶Music can improve literacy & numeracy

🎶Attention regulation

👶Social interest and interaction

Music helps toddlers build coordination as they move their body to the rhythm 🥁🎶🎼 of the music.

November 11th’s Remembrance Day honors the selfless sacrifices of those who have fought for peace and freedom, inspiring future generations to strive for a better world. The red poppy, symbolizing remembrance, flourished in Flanders’ battle-scarred fields during World War I, embodying hope and resilience.
