Sensory Book (Fruit and Animals Theme)

I made this book as a sensory play for young children to develop and increase memory function. It is a great way for calming an anxious or frustrated child. It also triggers a child’s interest and ability in completing more complex learning tasks. The theme in this crochet book is an important part of learning how to identify different kind of fruit and animals.

The area I am developing through this activity is to help children learn vital important sensory attributes (rough, soft), and to supports cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.

Lego Matching Shape

I made the resources using old Lego, then I drew the shape on the cardboard. This activity encourage children practice many learning opportunities such as: · fine motor control · hand and eye coordination · concentration and problem solving · simple sorting and matching by shapes · early counting By figuring out how to put each piece into its proper mark, children learn to categorise and eventually name shapes. It will challenge their thinking and exercise their minds. The area I am developing through this activity is to help children get to know shapes and develop early counting skills.
