Similar to my post about
refilling the bird feeder, I let my little guy play with rice. Children learn about the world through their senses, so I try to provide as many sensory experiences for them as possible. My
preschool children love when their sand table has rice in it as well. It just pours so well, and it is great for digging little hands into.
Here is lil man in his typical set up:
Tipping a little over (or creating chaos out of order)(physics: gravity):
Digging hands in (you can tell it feels good by the little smile):
Experimenting to see if he can fit inside the bowl (he couldn't which angered him)(social/emotional)
The end!
