Episode 14 - Sensory Overload: The Good, The Bad & The Messy
In this episode, we dive into all things sensory — from how to create meaningful sensory experiences in your early learning environment to managing the inevitable mess! We kick things off with a fun "What's in the Box?" challenge, exploring taste, sound, and touch in the most unpredictable ways. Then we get real about the joys and chaos of sensory play in early childhood settings: what works, what flops, and how to plan effectively. Plus, we chat about identifying sensory preferences and aversions in children, how to support overwhelmed educators, and the importance of collaborating with families to create sensory-friendly classrooms. Whether you're new to sensory play or looking to fine-tune your approach, this episode has you covered.
