Materials: 
  • Empty bottle
  • small pebbles
  • glue
Procedure: 
Fill empty bottle half way with water. Put in a handful of small pebbles. Glue on cap. When dry give to infant. While they are engaged in the sensory bottle, talk with them about what they are experiencing. This would be a great time to introduce new vocabulary.  ** Make sure that the lid is glued on securely! ** A hot glue gun works well. 
Assessment: 
  • Observe and record the child’s reaction to the water sounds.
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.  Infants require special caution, only use non-toxic materials, and do not allow infants to put things in their mouths that are a choking hazard. ​ ​

Language Acquisition Through Sensory Play

Language Acquisition Through Sensory Play
Language Acquisition Through Sensory Play
Although infants do not have the words to tell about their experiences, sensory play with an accompanying adult can help babies’ language skills grow. While you are assisting infants during a sensory activity, remember to ask questions and use descriptive language when talking with them. 

By using new vocabulary that relates to the experience, you are helping to create connections in the brain while making the activity meaningful.
