Ask the children to just play and feel how soothing it is. Also, allow children to use toy tools or kitchen tools so that they can play using the sensory materials. During this activity children will explore the properties of the pourable materials on the table as well as the materials for scooping and pouring such as cups, scoops and shovels.
