During outdoor time, choose an area of the playground for the children to dig into the soil, collect samples in several clear containers and investigate items found during their exploration such as rocks, sticks and maybe even some bugs. Place a sensory table near their “digging” spot for the children to empty their containers for further exploration. Provide tools such as magnifying glasses, sifters, plastic cups and spoons.
