Wheels in the paint!

We are always looking for new and exciting sensory opportunities for the children!

This week we went outside for some ROLLING and CREATING with paint!

Sensory play and activities are by FAR the most important way that young children learn as it's all about the senses at this stage of development. Indeed it's mainly through taste and touch that they are discovering and making sense of the world in the first years of life.

At Gan Camarillo, we firmly believe that a child needs to be allowed to get messy and that it really won't harm them to do so! Too much anxiety about getting messy and eventually they won't even want to do painting and glueing as they will be afraid of it. What a shame! (I'm not talking about children who have a genuine sensory problem here, of course.)
