Who knew that playing could make you so clever?!
StoryWorld Adventures incorporates a whole range of sensory play within each class. Read on to find out more!
👀Sight - a range of visual props are used in classes, which helps create those connections in the brain - as well as hearing the story, children can visualise it too!
Neutral colours can be beneficial and calming, but it’s also really important to have a range of brightly coloured stimuli to help develop early sight. Props and materials are particularly used with our youngest adventurers to help develop sight tracking 😃
👂Hearing - obviously children listen to the story itself and gain vocabulary through that, but so much more is added to develop this sense.
A range of music is used in our sessions, from classical, to pop, to traditional nursery rhymes.
🖐Touch - a range of props and textures are used within sessions to allow children to become completely immersed in the story.
🧍♀️🧍proprioception - often described as the sixth sense, it’s the body’s ability to sense movement, action and location. Movement and dance play a big role in our adventures, and they all work toward developing this skill, supporting self-regulation, coordination, posture, body awareness, the ability to attend and focus, and speech!!!
