Number of children involved in this experience: 12 students or 3 groups of 4 members.
Level of supervision required
0-18 months of kids are at the highest risk of injury as at this stage they learn to walk,
scrawl and stand up. So, there is requirement of constant as well as close supervision
How the activity will be presented to children:
There will be different sizes of moulds and kids will be asked to pour sand or imitate
their teachers or parents. This age group of people often do all those things that they see around
their surroundings. Also, kids will be observed if they are taking high jumps without supporting
or supporting.
Extension to the activity
 Continuous support
 Desired shapes of mould will be given
Intentions and learning goal
 The main goal of this sensory motor based experience play is to increase cognitive skills
of kids.
 To increase their concentration and balance.
Additional support
Symbolic play is one of the best ways by which children of this age group can overcome their
impulsiveness. It can develop their thought out behaviour that will help them out in developing
cognitive functions. In addition, it can be said that it is the first ladder to numeracy and literacy
so, on the basis of this, it can be said that children can learn the way of adapting new things.
