What is it?

       Pour and Explore is how Montessori Maws' do sensory play.  What is sensory play? Lets do some research! *googles the question*

" Sensory exploration is a child's way of examining, discovering, categorizing, and making sense of the world, and it's beneficial to provide them with opportunities for sensory play."
 

       Ok, yes technically everything that you do can be considered sensory exploration, but we as Maws need some time for us to treat ourselves!  So, create a goal that is reasonable to your family (at least once a week) so the time spent can be 100% focused on the activity.  
       In our home, with our LO, we try to theme these and spend at least 3 days before we 'exit' the activity.  Yes, this does create a bit of clutter around the house when it is time, but there are developmental advantages as well.  I'll let y'all know when the thesis has been completed.

Here is a "generic" or "whole group" version of today's sensory bin experience:    First, we took a survey of what was around us.  Shopping is on the to-do list, so today we are working with whatever we have and can locate around the houses.  If you do what we do, you'll notice when your LO stays focused on a particular thing or activity; this can be used as evidence we use to help us communicate with them.  (If you LO is currently pre or non verbal that is.?) Today we had, at our disposal, whatever was in Mom's pantry as well as his snacks for the morning.  Take a look below to see what we found today.  A few things were grabbed and outside we went!  Then, after pl
