Sensory Table Ideas

It is a new requirement to change the sensory table at least once a week at Pine Village this year, and I am so pleased to see so much creativity in the classrooms!  Here are just a sampling of the pictures of some of the cool sensory table ideas that I have seen just in September and Octuber!!  As you continue to change out your sensory tables, it may be helpful to store the items in shoeboxes, or ziploc bags and keep all of the sensory table materials together in one spot for easy access.  HAVE FUN!
