Baby Wipe Lids Sensory Board

 

I created this activity using baby wipe lids and glued it to the cardboard.

Sensory boards are a fun way for babies to touch and feel different materials all in one place.

Since there are a variety of items to explore, babies have a great time exploring the objects with their hands.

We can talk about the feeling of the textures and talk about the colours. 

This activity is even more fun for older babies because they can play peek-a-boo with the objects. They love to open and close the lids. They enjoy touching all the materials.

The area I am developing through this activity is to stimulate children to explore and investigate. It also helps them to encourages problem solving and develop their thinking skills.

EYLF Learning Outcomes:

4.2 - Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving, inquiry, experimentation, hypothesising, researching, and investigating

 

National Quality Standard:

3.2.2 – Resources, materials and equipment allow for multiple uses, are sufficient in number, and enable every child to engage in play-based learning

Piaget’s theories - He believes that children need to be able to see, touch, taste, smell, move and hear the things they are learning about. This is called ‘concrete learning’.
