SENSORY IS SOCIAL

Most of the posts on this blog are about apparatus that are built for the sensory table. Lately I have been writing a lot about Box Towers, the latest of which is a Dinosaur Tower.

Though I write a lot about the physical operations the children come up with as they explore the apparatus, there is much more happening in other areas of development such as social development.   To illustrate this point, here is a simple story told in pictures and words that happened recently at this apparatus.  To understand the story, you need to know there are holes on opposite sides of the tall tower.

A playful gesture

Reciprocated

Creates a play connection

That is recreated anew in another part of the room.
