Preschoolers at Minatare Preschool had a fun and hands-on learning activity today!
Students explored by driving toy cars through shaving cream, making tracks and patterns across the tables. This sensory activity helps build fine motor skills, creativity, and lots of giggles along the way!
The classroom was full of smiles as students experimented with different ways to move their cars and watch the tracks they created. Learning through play is one of our favorite ways to explore!
