Sand and Water Play Assignment HUMBHEV 2M03 Learning Environment 1 By: Professor: October 11, 2022

SAND PLAY Indicate at least 3 developmental skills that sand play supports for preschool-aged children and provide examples. It would be difficult to list only three sand play developmental skills, but one of the most crucial skills is sensory play. When using sand, you are exploring it, using your fingers, hands and whole body to touch, feel, and manipulate. For example, when l using sand, you are exploring it, using your fingers, hands and whole body to touch, feel, and manipulate. For example, when. Dillon got in the sand, he carved his body through the sand to mould and fit in comfortably (Crowther, 1970). This could also apply to when kids do not have the materials they need so they resort to their hands, digging, and scooping. When children lack the necessary materials, this may also be applicable. They must therefore use their hands to dig and scoop. A second developmental skill that preschool age children will use is there is a lot of social development. When a child partakes in associative play, they are being respectful, careful, not being destructive, having cooperation, and being able to guide one another. There is a lot of social development. When a child partakes in associative play, they are being respectful, careful, not being destructive, having cooperation, and being able to guide one another. Benjamin joined Aaron in play using cars and different objects, at first playing alone and later aligning with each other (Crowther, 1970). Lastly, a child gains fundamental development. A child is coordinating using various skills, such as holding a bucket, turning it over to create a castle, being quick so they do not have any spilling, squatting to be close enough to the ground. They’re using their fine and gross motor skills to pick up sand and mold it to their liking, Damon and Benjamin being close to the sand and shaping/poking and learning (Crowther, 1970). What do children learn through sand play?

One of the most important things children learn through sand play is cause and effect factors. When young preschoolers, it’s playing with sand they are seeing how flowable, pliable, and mobile a material it is. When young Dillon was having a solitary, functional, sensory and repetitive play with the sand. He was grabbing the material through his fingers, using fine, gross motor skills of pushing it, forming it and moulding (Crowther, 1970). Dillon was putting the material to use and conducting experiments to determine the outcomes. Or when Aaron was using sensory play, there was a cause-and-effect factor when he covers his hand with sand; his hand disappears (Crowther, 1970). A child is using their observational skills to see what reactions happen when they play with sand. Secondly, sand pushes the idea of freedom, meaning there is functional play. A child does not have a specific aim in mind, they can do whatever they please through the safety of a facilitator (Dilip, 2022). The play is a medium, it encourages kids to have fun and most importantly free exploration It is a sense of relief and therapy. A highly effective and comprehensive type of therapy can help a person in treatment experience emotional release and awareness (Dilip, 2022). Children can learn the basic properties of sand, and how they may manipulate it and utilize it to their benefit. They need to use their fine and gross motor abilities to manipulate the sand, which might be wet or dry. Collaborative plays a huge aspect that children learn through sand, sharing tools, working with each other, communicating what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. Children learn to collaborate greatly through the use of sand, sharing of equipment, teamwork, and articulating what they are doing and how they are doing it (Crowther, 1970). Children are able to use problem-solving and measuring/mathematical skills. When Taylor was having trouble filling the jugs, she was using mathematical principles to measure the amount of sand needed to fill each jug. Additionally, Mackenzie discovered science skills when she observed how dry sand moves
