Our students

Our students, ages 3-5, love this table! It can be used for water and sand, of course, but we also use it for ooblick (that wonderful combination of corn starch and water for sensory play), and we shred tissue paper and 'hide' items in it that link with the lesson (currently, plastic frogs of all sorts, colors, and sizes are hidden in various shades of green tissue paper).

The children use 'chop sticks' to locate and pluck them out of the bin, assisting with the strengthening of fine motor muscles. It requires minimal space, drains water simply, and easily moves from room to room on sturdy wheels. This was a purchase that will provide many enriching activities for our students!
