Sensory play is very important part of child development. It encourages learning through exploration, curiosity, problem solving and creativity. It helps to build nerve connections in the brain and encourages the development of language and motor skills. Together with role-playing creates perfect learning through play experience. At Big Ben Kids the teachers from the junior group prepared a Pirate ship on the wild sea experience with help of sand and spaghetti.
What do you need:
- Boat / ship / toys

- For even more sensory, you can also add some water for an extra effect
