This week the infant A students enjoyed exploring water play, sensory bottles and they made their first foot print! They were very interested in and focused on each of the activities we did. It was an amazing and fun week of new experiences and discoveries!


Water Play

The students were fascinated by the water going through their legs and feet.T hey were clearly engrossed by the activity as they were splashing and tapping their feet around the water. The feeling of the warm and soft water was very interesting for them. Water play is one of our favorite activities! Good job everyone!


Water play gives many opportunities to develop fine and gross motor skills across age ranges. Children will increase their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination through actions like pouring, squirting, scrubbing, stirring, and squeezing. It’s an amazing sensory experience introducing them to textures and temperatures.

Sensory Bottles Exploration

The sparkling and shining colors of the discovery bottles definitely caught the attention of our infant A friends. They were very focused on the activity. As the teachers shook the sensory bottles their eyes were staring at the different materials that were inside the bottle. Their reaction was amazing!

The most obvious benefit of sensory bottles would be their direct connection to sensory play. Sensory play is a hands-on way to expose children to the world around them and allow their brains to make important connections. Sensory bottles address a wide range of skills and concepts and can be adapted to meet the needs of the children using them.

Foot Print 

Yesterday, the infant A students had the opportunity to do their first footprints, They were very excited and amazed to feel the paint being brushed through their feet. It was obvious they were enjoying the activity since they were consistently staring at the different colors of paint we used.

Making a footprint is an excellent tactile experience. It stimulates the child’s senses of touch, sight, smell, and taste (edible finger paint). It also helps a child’s intellectual development. The mixing of colors teaches the child about their colors and how to create new colors. It strengthens the feet and toes which helps with motor skills.

What an amazing week we had, the children got to explore different and exciting activities each day. They are learning so much together.. Great job infant A friends!

Enjoy your weekend!
