Touch Program for Toddlers and Smell Program for Preschoolers

Program on the sense of touch for toddlers: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tTkNMUlBqOEhWQTg/edit?usp=sharing

I forgot to try the idea of taping contact paper, sticky side up onto one table to make a sensory station.

Here is the letter Tt worksheet found by searching Google Images: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tWmcxTVFZVXRlQmc/edit?usp=sharing

Here are textured "stickers" that toddlers can peel and stick to the Tt touch worksheet:
 (Will insert Widget here, once Amazon has it's html code generator fixed.)

Program on the sense of smell for preschoolers:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByZSJgcQD22tSTdfVW1VTGNKYVk/edit?usp=sharing

The Human Body app allowed a child to drag something smelly to the nose.  If it was a food item, the child could see the mouth salivate.  I ended up doing this at the end of the program, since I was having technical difficulties during the program (with the new iOS).

The "smell" jars were small plastic, cylindrical containers from Big Lots.  I had wanted to mash banana in one, have a cinnamon stick in another, a green pepper in the third, and a slice of orange in the fourth.  I ended up putting small, solid perfume samples in them and covered with foil so one couldn't see what was inside.  I poked holes in the top of the foil.

The Importance of Words

"Mama, my throat hurts," my two-year old niece said.

And my sister knew it was time to rush to the emergency room.

It turns out that an allergy (to cashews? we'll find out after tests...)
has the ability to make this little girl stop breathing...
Anaphylactic shock

How does Auntie Tat deal with the situation?
Biblio-therapy ... This book is actually simple and clear enough to work for the littlest ones:


All this to say ... how important it is for little ones to be able to communicate ... how important to share words with little ones...

Zoo Storytimes for Toddlers vs. Preschoolers

For an after storytime activity/extension, I will place those plastic capsules that have an animal shaped sponge inside into plastic water bottles with warm water (lid screwed on) -- one per bottle and one bottle per child.
