Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

According to an article by News Canada titled ‘Learning Through Senses – The Key To A Child’s Development‘:
‘The first few years of a child’s life are full of new and exciting experiences that are absorbed like a sponge through the five senses: touch, taste, smell, sight and sound.’

The kids did this simple ‘sensorial’ activity the other day.

For Vai:
I pasted some glue on a piece of paper, and Vai spread some coloured glitters on it using his fingers. This way, he got to feel the sensation of the sticky glitters on the tips of his fingers.

For Anya:
She did a simple ‘painting’ using coloured glitter sand.

Basically she sprinkled the coloured sand onto some specific areas (the paper is already sticky), then she rubbed the sand to even out the coloured surface.

These activities were simple yet nice for the kids that afternoon!
