Let’s stir up a storm! ☔️
Let’s stir up a storm! ☔️
You will need:
• Coloured rice, pasta or paper
• Pipe cleaners (lighting bolts)
• Cotton pads (clouds)
• Ribbon (rain)
• Cups, spoons, sieves
By manipulating the sensory materials, spoons, and bowls, children build on their fine motor skills as well as hand dominance and self awareness. This can also provide a calming and tactile sensory experience for children of all ages as well as hours of fun and creativity!
This activity is also a great way to incorporate Mathematical learning into play. Children can recognise numbers and follow the instructions on the recipe. This can be extended further with discussions of “how many” / “more or less” they are using to create their storm.
Have fun stirring up a storm ⛈️
