Sensory Table
A sensory table is a way to offer materials to small children for exploration. A good sensory material is one that stimulates several of the five senses at the same time.. Space is often a factor in in home childcare so I have listed a few alternatives to an actual table below. Choose materials according to child's age and abilities.
