Tactile play plays a big part of our Nursery as the tamariki enjoy investigating all different textures. We have been particularly enjoying exploring sensory play in a variety of ways. Using their senses, tamariki have opportunities to explore making use of the natural resources around us such as leaves, sand and pinecones. We have also been experimenting as we learn what happens when mixing different colours and ingredients and what happens when these substances combine. We find that these can be a very relaxing experience and a great opportunity for us to have conversations about textures and colours.
