[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do think this is a valid choice for a sensory table because it encourages dramatic play, serving food to their peers and getting to play with varying material is just as important as the water play and other sensory experiences teachers provide. That said, sensory play like this is so important but as a teacher they can't possibly think the kids aren't going to eat what is clearly food.  I worked as a preschool teacher for years, the truth is we always had kids eating whatever is in the sensory table edible or not!!

I think the issue really is how it was handled, more understanding and explanation to your DC about the rules and expectations of the table.

I like what this poster says.  I'd have no issues with my child being fruit loops for sensory play.  My boys have done art projects with food too.  I don't think it encourages them to play with their food. They are exploring their world and learning there is a time and place for different activities.   [/quote]
