Kinetic sand
Sensory bin or large container
Toys and tools for digging and playing (e.g., small shovels, molds, mini figures, cars)
Optional: Additional sensory items like shells, rocks, or beads for added texture and variety
Preparation: Fill a sensory bin or large container with kinetic sand. Ensure the sand is spread out evenly, creating a soft, moldable surface.
Adding Toys and Tools: Place a variety of toys and tools into the bin, encouraging students to dig, mold, and create with the kinetic sand.
Exploration Time: Allow students to freely explore the kinetic sand, using their hands and the provided tools to dig, build, and play. They can create structures, bury objects, or simply enjoy the texture of the sand.
Imaginative Play: Encourage students to use their imaginations as they play, creating stories and scenarios with the toys in the bin.
Clean-Up: After playtime, guide students in cleaning up the area, making sure the sand and toys are stored properly for future use.
