Sensory and messy play ideas
Sensory games to stimulate children’s five senses in our nursery in Jumeirah:
Cooking
We have designed different activities for your child to explain the sense of taste. Your children can cook freely in the nursery and cook whatever they like. All equipment is safe and your child is allowed to get messy and enjoy the experience. They can make crafts or draw with food such as pasta. Our nurses take good care of your children to experience sensory and messy activities in complete safety.
Playing with sand
If your child likes to play with sand and gravel on the beach, we have sand for them to explore with harmless materials that provide them with the pleasure of playing with sand at our nursery in Dubai.
Play with animals
To teach the children about animals, we explore and discuss all about animals with the children at our nursery. In our Indoor Forest, the children are encouraged to play with our Tortoise and can look at our lovely birds in their cage. We encourage the children to feed to Tortoise to help them to understand the importance of caring for animals.
Sowing seeds
We do a variety of planting activities at our nursery. Your children can watch their plants grow in the nursery and have opportunities to explore/play with soil in the garden.
Play with water
Children are very interested in playing with water. We have considered suitable places and toys for your children to explore with water. Your children will also begin to understand the meaning of hot and cold with special tactile games. We have many messy play ideas for your children.
