Designed by an occupational therapist, SUMMER EXPLORER presents 8 sensory activities in the areas of noise, touch, and smell. It is for all children, pre-k through first grade, though older kids benefit too.
The summertime activities are very suitable and motivating for kids who dislike getting their hands messy and for kids who are sensitive to noises and smells. Activities also help children in other ways as well. Learning to pay greater attention to the details of sound is a step toward better reading. Increasing a child’s attention to the “feel” of objects contributes to improved fine motor skills.
