Exploration and Discovery

 
We explored moon sand.  We used flour and oil to make the moon sand.

 
Babies tried to smell, taste, and feel the moon sand.

 
Later we explored tools, so we scooped and smashed the moon sand with our tools. 

 
Babies also explore window blocks.  They explore the blocks by looking through the blocks, smashing the blocks, and touching the blocks.

 
Babies explore cause and effect, with the explore the sensory tubes.  They watch the tubes as they move them up and down. 

 
We explored tools in different environments, with sensory materials and without.  Babies used the tools to build. 

 
Babies explore tummy time. To encourage tummy time we engage babies with different materials while on the floor.

 
As we continued to explore tools, we figured out how tools work with paint.  Babies figured out how to manipulate different painting tools.

 
Exploring window blocks using our fine motor skills to manipulate the materials.

 
Exploring concepts of space by looking inside the tunnel and then pulling away. 

 
Our favorite sensory experience this semester. Babies love, love to explore clay.  They squished they fingers through the clay, splashed the water, and pulled the clay apart.


 
We use our hands as tools to explore books, blocks, and sensory materials.

 
Babies first reaction to the light projector: "WOW!"

 
Babies explored the light projector with their hands. They looked to the wall as their hands were on the projector and said "Hands!"

 
Babies added various materials to the top of the light projector.
