Sensory Table with Lid - Medium TLC-1135

Sensory tables are an amazing teaching tool for preschools and daycare centers. A sensory table allows young children to experiment with all sorts of materials without creating a mess in the classroom. This model comes with a sturdy plastic lid which helps contain the sensory table materials and also creates a flat surface for art or science projects. By manipulating materials, children learn math skills and the concepts of more/less, full/empty and sink/float. Sensory experiences also helps develop pre-writing skills and hand-eye coordination. Additionally, by practicing fine-motor skills while pouring, measuring and manipulating material, children increase their physical abilities.
Sensory tables usually are used for hands-on learning and exploring. You can put almost any materials in the sensory table bin. Try water, sand, dirt with plastic gardening tools, plastic pots, rice, etc. There really is no limit on what you can put in a sensory table. It is always easier explaining concepts to young children when they can see and touch what you are talking about. Let kids dig, create, and explore — all within the neat confines of the sensory table. This particular model measures 48-inches (length) x 36-inches (wide) x 24-inches (deep) and weighs just 21 lbs.
