Sensory Session Info

---

 Ohhh no not sensory play! That’s the response I hear the most when I talk to other parents about doing sensory play. Yes, it’s an effort; it’s time consuming, sometimes fiddly and can make an absolute mess! Most parents don’t like the set up and clean up! But what if I told you that you could have the best of both worlds?! Your child could reap the benefits of sensory play, and you wouldn’t have to lift a finger!!!! Well, today is your lucky day! You’re invited to Rainbow Creative’s ‘Sensory Sessions’ for 6 months to 5 year olds! Come along and let your little one explore, discover and get messy with some sensory play!

What to expect?

Each week, a range of open-ended sensory activities will be set up based on a theme. Expect to get a little messy, make some new friends, and have a heck of a lot of fun and learning through play along the way! Imagine 10-12 ‘Invitation to Play’ like setups for your little one to explore at their own speed in a relaxed and supportive environment. 

Our vision 

Is to create a welcoming environment, where parents can bring their child to enjoy a full sensory experience, make some new friends, get messy, have a bit of fun and, of course, naturally learn through play! Our sessions will be based on Montessori concept with open-ended activity focusing on the process rather than a finished product. A relaxed learning environment where children are free to explore and discover and learn in their own way and in their own time! A group setting, a real community feel!

Who are we??

Rainbow Creative is a small family run business born and bred in the Woolgoolga area. We began making and selling ‘Sensory Boards’ for children, creating other sensory-based products like playdough kits and sensory bins, etc. Now we are offering sensory sessions! These sessions will be coordinated by myself, Laura and my friend Zoe - both of us are qualified primary school teachers and mums of young children. We both have a passion for sensory play (clearly), haha!

What time?

10:00 each Wednesday! We tried to select a time that would suit the majority of people’s nap schedules with the aim of tiring the kids out and taking them home to nap all arvo!! Goals!  At this point we are only offering Wednesday but do hope this will grow and be offered 2-3 times per week on different days, perhaps in different locations too! Who knows?!

Where?

We will be set up and ready to go in the beautiful outdoor area behind The Community Hall in Woolgoolga. (aka Mudbrick Hall) And yes this area is fully fenced! Follow the footpath around to the left of the hall and it will lead to us!

Places are limited and bookings are essential via our the BOOK button above. Parents are required to stay for the entire session. There is weekly info about our sensory sessions on our instagram @rainbowcreativesensorysessions or call me on 0402 284 580

Why is sensory play important?

There are SO many benefits to sensory play I swear I could write a blog on it! As we know, children's developing brains crave sensory input! providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development.

Sensory play develops and increases:

Fine motor skills

Gross motor skills 

Hand eye coordination 

Language and communication skills 

Confidence  

Mindful & calming experience 

Problem solving & scientific thinking 

Cause and effect concept 

Sort & categorise different materials 

Encourages social and emotional regulation 

The list goes on!!!!

A sensory session for you means no setup, no clean up for you, just a whole lot of fun and learning for the kids.
