Sensory Fun @ Rocking Horse

Over the last few weeks the Beanies have been interested in different textures, exploring these with both their mouths and their hands, so we provided lots of opportunities for them to be more involved and get messy!

We provided a variety of different textures for the children to explore.

These included paint, pasta, playdough, ice, leaves, bubbles, water, gluck, shaving foam and jelly.

We then provided an opportunity for the children to participate in a food tasting activity to explore different textures and tastes with their mouths.

The food items included marshmallows, gherkins, lemon, lime, marmite, chocolate, ketchup and brown sauce!  Some of these didn’t go down too well, judging by the children’s facial expressions!

These activities enabled the children to have the opportunity to participate and enjoy a range of experiences, to thrive and be nurtured and by loving adults who promote their learning and development and also to develop an awareness of what they know and can do through play.
