👀👂👃👄🖐 Exploring Our Senses and features! 👀👂👃👄🖐
Our children have been getting creative with these wonderful wooden blocks.
This activity offers so many opportunities for learning and development:
🌟 Develops fine motor skills – handling, lifting, balancing and positioning the blocks helps strengthen little hands and fingers.
🧠 Supports cognitive development – children can identify, match and categorise different body parts and senses.
👀 Encourages observation skills – looking closely at the pictures and noticing similarities and differences.
🗣️ Builds language and communication – introducing vocabulary such as eyes, ears, nose, mouth, see, hear, smell and taste encourages children to talk about what they know.
🎨 Encourages creativity and imagination – open-ended resources allow children to build, arrange and explore in their own way.
💪 Develops coordination and spatial awareness – positioning and balancing the blocks supports hand-eye coordination and an understanding of space.
❤️ Supports understanding of the body – children begin to recognise body parts and understand how our senses help us explore the world around us.
👫 Encourages social skills – working together, sharing resources and talking about their ideas supports cooperation and turn-taking.
✨ Most importantly, it's learning through play! Children can explore at their own pace while developing a wide range of skills in a fun, engaging and hands-on way.
