developmental stage, needs and interests of children aged: 0-1 year 11 months
Differentiation:
In planning and implementing the sensory discovery baskets, I will cater to individual needs by customizing
the sensory materials accordingly. This personalized approach is crucial to ensure each infant's comfort and
engagement. For those with sensitive skin, I'll incorporate soft, hypoallergenic fabrics or materials,
prioritizing their comfort and preventing any potential allergic reactions. In consideration of visually
impaired children, I will select toys and objects that offer various sounds, textures, and tactile elements,
enabling them to explore and engage with the materials through senses other than sight. This adaptability
within the sensory baskets aims to provide an inclusive and enriched experience for all infants,
accommodating their diverse needs and enhancing their sensory exploration.
Description of play activity/ learning opportunity:
In this sensory discovery activity, infants will have the opportunity to engage with carefully curated sensory
baskets filled with various items aimed at stimulating their senses. Encouraging the exploration of different
textures, sounds, colors, and scents, infants will interact with these items under supervision. The activity will
focus on fostering their sensory perception by allowing them to touch, hear, see, and sometimes smell
different materials, supporting the development of their senses. Moreover, this interactive play serves as an
avenue for fine-tuning their fine motor skills as they grasp, touch, and explore the contents of the baskets.
Through this multi-sensory experience, infants will engage in a cognitive process of discovery, actively
exploring their surroundings and learning about different sensory inputs in a safe and supervised setting.
