幼稚園向けセンセーショナルストーリータイム

What is Sensational Story Time? It’s a story time built just for you. No sitting still required. Fidget, wiggle, and squirm! Enjoy squishing, stretching, and shaping air dry clay. Enjoy the textures, or create imaginative items. It’s your choice. 

Each class will have an engaging story: fantastic fairy tales, meaningful messages, awesome adventures, and more. We’ll use air dry clay because it doesn’t get sticky or flaky. High fun, low mess. Various techniques and tools will be shown but are optional. The focus is on the process, not an end product. 

Sensory seekers will love squishing and shaping the playdough or clay. Sensory avoiders can rest assured that air-dry clay is a fantastic alternative to the playdough they are probably used to. It’s less sticky and won’t get flaky with use. Be sure to check the handout in the welcome post for a gluten-free playdough recipe if you’d rather make than buy.

This interactive class will encourage the development of social skills by creating a safe space for self-expression. Feeling secure and valued are the foundations upon which confidence and independence are built.  Learners will have opportunities to practice taking turns, sharing their ideas, and celebrating each others’ progress. Guided clean up will gradually develop learners’ sense of responsibility and care for their belongings.

How is this class different than the school age version? 
Same great sensory friendly focus, for a younger audience.
All the fun, imagination, and support of my older class, with books specially selected to engage younger leaners. We’ll also use a fewer tools and techniques (optional) to work with the air dry clay.
