Early preschool students enjoy using their hands to explore how different things look and feel.  For science and sensory, our class decided to explore with soap. We filled the sensory table with water and some squirts of dish soap and then mixed the two together with a whisk to make bubbles. Then the children hid colored airplanes at the bottom of the bubbles and tried to scoop them up with their spoons. EPS definitely used fine motor skills to catch those airplanes. It was very tricky at first with the slippery water, but they managed to catch a couple! Every time they caught an airplane we all pretended to fly like an airplane in the sky. We were able to take advantage of the beautiful day as we played outside, while at the same time reinforce our  “air transportation” unit by using large and fine motor skills. As an added bonus, our class smelled so fresh and clean after the lesson!
