Colours and Foam

09 December 2021

 Colours and Foam

The Ducklings and Goslings loved their foam and colour sensory activity this week. The children explored the pipettes in different coloured water, squeezing the pipettes using their whole hand grasp to drip the water onto the foam.

The children enjoyed exploring the foam with the hands to explore the textures.
