What you need
- A mirror
- Silver pots and utensils (spoons, large and small; whisk)
- Tinsel
- Shiny bangles
- Metal bowl
- Shiny material
- Sieve
- Beads
Benefits
- Encourages use of senses; sight, touch, sound.
- Supports perception of themselves and the world by looking in mirrors and reflections on objects.
The experience
Set out a large area (on a rug or soft floor) and lay out the materials (some suggestive, for example placing spoons and beads in a metal bowl to encourage your child to make sounds with the materials) and let your child explore; banging, tapping, mouthing and feeling objects, looking at their reflection and uses their senses!
