Baby Sensory: B is for Balls

We have tried two sessions of this as some babies were absent and we still never managed to complete everything and never managed to take many photos.

The main part was just to experience different textured balls.  Zac loves his ball pit and his new sensory balls . We never got to play pass the ball of use a sheet to make them roll across or bounce in the air.

I still haven't made a bouncy ball sensory bottle or used them to paint with in a ziplock bag but we will.

So no artwork to show for this session I'm afraid. 

We have visited the wacky warehouse with a ball pit several times. 

Baby sensory club- B is for Balls the plan

I remember my three year old loved balls and still does so having balls as a focus seems worth while.

What can we do ?

Sight: see balls of different sizes and colours.

Hearing: use of musical instrument and singing. Songs played about balls . (Made a list on YouTube)

Taste: maybe ball shaped food. I thought make melon balls.

Touch: feel the different textured balls

Smell: 

Art/craft: hand/footprint animals,  foam animal sticking.

Messy play: play with paint after printing

Role play: dress up as animals

Explore & discover: animal sounds, animal patterns/ colours and shapes

Physical activity: action sounds about animals, playing instruments

Book club: Bear snores on :-will fit in as Karma Wilson is the virtual book club featured author for November.

Bring a favourite animal book to share and read.

Follow up ideas- teddy journal, visit a farm, sign animal songs and do animal noises from session.  Do other animal hand/footprint.
