Sensory worms

The green grass spaghetti for the farm play the other week went down so well that I have been looking for other great ideas to use spaghetti.  How about this idea from http://www.learning4kids.net/2015/01/13/digging-worms-sensory-play/



Cooked spaghetti, sand, compost, tray, tweezers, container to put the worms in, magnifying glass......
Brilliant activity to develop:
  • Fine motor skills
  • Muscles in the hand
  • Mathematical skills - counting and measuring
  • Communication skills - talking, asking questions, new vocabulary
  • Social skills - playing together, taking turns in conversations
So easy and cheap to put together quickly.  Children will love it and I cant wait to try it this week with the families I work with.
