  • Glue and attach the handle to the stick and let it dry.
Use:
  • Place Bubble Blower Sensory Sticks in a basket for free use.

  • Place the sensory stick in the quiet area for mindful reflection and relaxation while exploring the movement of materials inside the stick. ​
Assessment: 
  • As the children are manipulating, watching, and listening to the sensory stick try to capture their thoughts and observations by writing them down. How do they use the sensory stick; as intended or a new way? Ask them what they see, hear and feel when they manipulate the stick. 
Note: Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care. Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children. Toddlers require special caution, only use non-toxic materials, and do not allow toddlers to put things in their mouths that are a choking hazard. ​​​

Science for Infants

Picture
Picture
Infants are exposed to science when they are playing peek-a-boo, rolling a ball, feeling a new sensory experience, and reaching for a toy or toes. These experiences include learning about object permanence, cause and effect, the five senses, and spatial awareness, respectively. These seemingly common infantile experiences are actually scientific research in progress.
​
Have you ever helped an infant roll a ball across the floor? Did you support their reactions to the ball’s movement? Did you further their play by rolling the ball a new way, or urging them to crawl or walk to the ball? Caregivers and educators interact with infants in these ways almost constantly. They support the infant in a simplified scientific process, whether they are aware of it or not. ​
