ChildBrite Sand And Water Tables
Keeping kids busy while at preschool or daycare can be a daunting task. You want the toys and play areas safe from sharp edges, weather resistant, and long lasting. Activity tables and art easels by ChildBrite might be the answer. This U.S. based company specializes in children’s art easels, sand & water activity tables, and outdoor train tables.
These fun, festive products are made in America and are great for schools, child care facilities, and wonderful for family backyard fun. Children from ages three and up will love these products because they can be used both outdoors and indoors and are extremely versatile. With each activity center, kids can use their senses, improve their fine motor skills, and explore their creative side.
Sand & water tables are often used by teachers and therapists as part of their overall curriculum. As a rule sensory tables are great for both typical and special needs kids. In a regular preschool environment many teachers fill the tubs with water on a hot summer day for lots of outdoor water fun. Occupational therapists (and some teachers) take this fun activity one step further by adding different substances to the tubs so kids can explore a variety of mediums and textures. Some examples are shaving cream, popcorn, sand, rice, or beans. Activities can be created to help kids learn to tolerate different textures. Many special needs kids suffer from an aversion to tactile input. This aversion is call tactile defensiveness.
They literally cannot stand the feeling of different textures. By creating activities with a range of textures in a fun and non-threatening way therapists can help these children overcome this debilitating issue. They can draw in the shaving cream or find treasures in the beans – what ever is most motivating and compelling to each particular child. The basic game of hiding items in the bins also helps kids with tactile discrimination – the ability to tell the difference between items by feel. When faced with a tub filled with beans, for example, they will needs to reach into the tub and try to find items that feel different – like toys, jacks, balls, etc – with their hands thus helping them learn to differentiate by touch. For those kids at a higher level they can try this activity with their eyes closed. These games are great for kids with special needs but typical kids really enjoy them too. Kids love to explore their environment and providing them with different ways to experience their senses creates an enriched and fun way to spend their day.
