Sensory Storytelling for children 0-8yrs
Sensory Storytelling is inspired by the State Library of WA’s Better Beginnings initiative and brings a multi-sensory play-based approach to “readings” of rhymes and popular children’s stories. The program builds capacity amongst parents, early childhood educators and therapists by modeling the use of music and sensory activities to augment children’s understanding and enjoyment of story. Sensory Storytelling encourages early literacy development and links strongly with the Early Years Learning Framework.

An Online Sensory Story
We are delighted to share with you this free online interactive Playschool-style sensory story, perfect for educational play at home, school, in libraries or other educational institutions, especially designed for children with disability and access needs, with a learning age of approximately 3-10 years.
Sensory is just as good and important as physio. We get so caught up in everyday routine. So this is something different to do. I got ideas from last week to do at home.
