I am wondering if any of you use sensory tables/bins in your childcare repertoire?
I have been surfing some childcare sites, and they seem to be all the rage. Was thinking about putting one together in a good sized Rubbermaid type container, but I am unsure. It seems like an idea that is targeted at special needs kids?
I don't want to make one up, and then spend the entire time it's open saying "No, we don't put that in our mouth" etc!! I think it would be neat though, to change out the items in it with the theme or season we are in?
Hmmmm....
