How to make a Winter Sensory Bottle
LESSON PLAN:
Winter Sensory Bottle
The format consists of the age group of the learners, the name of the activity plan, the concept, the learning objectives, the supplies, the instructional activities, and the assessment.
Concept: Making sensory bottles is easy and inexpensive. They don't need a lot of space. Without having to visit an indoor play area or children's museum, this gives kids the chance to develop their sensory learning. They are an incredible simple approach to include sensory play in your own house, car, or classroom.
For this activity we will make a winter sensory bottle.
Age Group: 4-5 years old
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the activity the children are expected to:
- Describe changes that will take place. and talk about their playtime.
- handle small items, including scooping, emptying, sealing bottles, and picking up.
- while engaging in their sensory play, learn about playing with others, sharing, and communicating.
- use math and scientific techniques for measuring and observing cause-and-effect relationships while working with sensory materials. Use their senses when exploring.
