Our Literacy Books Library
Those books offered children with critical views to see their world.
Activities Brainstorm
Ice sensory play
Today we explored a sensory activity using large ice blocks with flowers and leaves frozen inside. The children were excited to touch the big, cold ice, using their hands to hold, push, and explore its smooth surface. With paintbrushes and water, they brushed over the ice and watched it slowly melt, revealing the natural materials inside. Some children tapped and rubbed the ice, while others observed closely, smiling and reacting to the cold sensation. This experience supported their sensory development as they explored temperature, texture, and cause-and-effect through play.
Little jungles
Today the children explored playdough with natural leaves and flowers, along with a variety of cutters, to create their own little jungle. They used their hands to squeeze, roll, and press the dough, enjoying the soft and squishy texture. Some children pressed the cutters into the playdough to make different shapes, while others placed the real leaves and flowers on top or pressed them into the dough to create prints and decorations. A few children combined both tools and natural materials, building their own small jungle scenes. They showed curiosity as they touched, explored, and experimented with different textures and ways of creating. This experience supported their sensory development, fine motor skills, creativity, and early imaginative play through hands-on exploration.
Brown Bear Brown Bear what do you see
Today the children enjoyed a group time inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. We used soft plush toys along with simple sensory flap cards made from wet tissue box lids. The children were curious to lift the flaps, revealing different animals underneath, and showed excitement as they matched them with the plush toys. Some children reached out to touch and hold the toys, while others listened and watched closely as the story was read. They smiled, pointed, and engaged with the repeated phrases. This experience supported their sensory exploration, early language development, and recognition of animals through interactive and hands-on play.
