Sensory play center 1
Every playground should have a place for children that offers a resting spot, out of the sun that also provides various sensory input opportunities. The Sensory Play Center 1 allows for a seating area to utilize the various play opportunities incorporated into the attached panels.
SENSORY PLAY CENTER 1
Visual: Panels encourage visual exploration increasing understanding and perception.
Tactile: Panels provide differing textures offering a multisensory experience.
Motor Planning: Manipulating and moving the panels provides a full sensory experience and requires the coordination of both visual and motor systems. Children control how slow or fast they receive visual input.
Social/Imagination: Children play “through” most visual panels with peers on the other side allowing self-regulation of eye contact as they feel comfortable.
AUDITORY SENSORY PLAY PANELS
Auditory: Panels allow exploration in a variety of ways including discrimination of sounds.
Motor Planning: Manipulating panel components provides a full auditory experience. Children control how slow or fast they receive auditory input.
Social/Imagination: Panels encourage cooperative and collaborative play offering opportunities for sound patterning that can be developed and imitated.
