Back to School Sensory Play Day
Our preschoolers had so much fun exploring water play, shaving cream, spaghetti noodles, chalk, and more!
Sensory play isn’t just messy fun—it’s learning in action. Activities that engage touch, sight, sound, and movement help children build fine motor skills, strengthen problem-solving, spark creativity, and even support language development.
Hands-on play = big smiles + big learning!
