In every classroom, we work to include experiences through sensory and science where our children get to interact with their environment using all five senses. Even in the infant classroom, our teachers research ways to allow the babies this same opportunity! Today, our littlest learners are learning all about the farm. They looked at pictures of pigs and other farm animals. They did touch and feel books on this topic and then they finished with a great sensory activity. Inside the ziploc bag for each baby is a photocopy of a pig on white paper. The teachers put brown paint and shaving cream in the bag, closed the bags tightly, and allowed each child to “cover” their pig in mud! The babies had so much fun and even watched each other!
