• Introduce an engaging sensory dimension to your classroom with jelly crystal flakes. These flakes are not only fun to play with but also serve as an excellent tool for teaching early years children about the science of materials. Through tactile sensory play, children can explore, squeeze, and stretch jelly, gaining a practical understanding of textures and changes.
• Incorporate these jelly flakes into lessons on expressive arts and design, aiding creativity and sensory development. Children learn to articulate their observations and feelings, enhancing their language skills and emotional development in a group setting.
This resource supports the EYFS curriculum, providing valuable experiences in communication and understanding the world around them. It allows children to compare different materials, fostering early scientific thinking and curiosity.
