Welcome Lexi

Water Sensory Beads 5 reasons why sensory play is beneficial:

1 Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.

2 Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.

3 This type of play aids in developing and enhancing memory

4 Sensory play is great for calming children 5 This helps children learn sensory attributes

(hot, cold, sticky, dry)

On Wednesday the children patiently watched and observed as the water beads changed over time.

We welcome Lexi and her family to the Moreton Bay group.

“We passed bones around and played with activity bags that had doctor stuff in it. My Mum is a doctor, she makes people better. She makes sure people don't have any pain. That’s my human body costume I got for Christmas. It's all of what’s inside you. Your brain, heart, lungs” - Mac
