So That Is How...

Remember the sensory bottles that I made for Sophie? I was not sure then what they were meant to do for her although she enjoyed looking at them. Lately, Sophie was able to look at the "slow motion" bottle and say "slow" and then pick up the "blink blink" bottle and say "fast". I must have used those words every time I showed them to her. So I am now very convinced that sensory activities are important to children and for Sophie, she learns best if she plays, explores and discovers meanings in things on her own. It is definitely not helpful to have a "Mama Vulture" hovering above her and breathing down her neck all the time.
