你是不是也在寻找一个立刻获取孩子注意力的物品？最好是又简单又有趣？不妨看看周围，也许一个感官瓶就正是你需要的！ 什么是感官瓶? 感官瓶就是一个装有不同特性和不同物体的容器。感官瓶可以是多种多样的，所以它可能会有不同的名称，比如，冷静瓶，感官罐，但都是同一个作用！同时，感官瓶既安全，又能够让儿童探索不同的感觉官能，而且不会面临孩子不小心吞食异物导致窒息的危险。 感官瓶都融合了哪些感觉官能呢？ 听觉/声音：物体和瓶子碰撞时发出的叮当声，晃动时的水声 视觉：颜色，闪光粉，可下沉的物体 本体觉：观察物体在瓶子内部的移动，摇晃瓶身 前庭觉：平衡运动，旋转瓶子 这些感觉官能可以帮助调节儿童在受到外界刺激时产生的压力，因此使他们冷静下来。感官瓶也可以被用来让儿童探索不同的感觉官能，并且理解物体之间的联系和不同物体的特性和质量。 制作一个感官瓶时，我可以教给孩子一些什么知识呢？ 1. 教学方面： 颜色：你都看到了什么颜色？深色还是浅色呢？ 数字：你看到几个东西？很少还是很多呢？ 形状：你看到哪些形状呢？ 配对：它们都是一样的吗？有什么相同和不同的地方呢？ 2.

我想分享一个我最喜欢与孩子一起做的活动： 科学实验！！ 为什么？ “WOW”因素：任何年龄的孩子都会喜爱它！ 可以向孩子们介绍科学词汇 培养他们讲故事的能力：自己告诉外婆他们是如何做到的！ 理解“因果”关系：我们添加了粉末来让它爆炸！ 下面这个小视频向你展示我是如何制作黏泥的，我通过与学龄前儿童和小学生一起创造这个实验体验到了很多乐趣。他们不停地欢呼“这太酷了！”、“这个效果怎么一眨眼就发生了？”。 对于不同的年龄范围的孩子我是如何进行黏泥实验的？ 学龄前儿童： 词汇：原料（硼砂，食物色素等），手感（黏黏的、胶粘的、潮湿的、湿软的，有弹性的等），动作（混合、搅拌、揉捏，铲挖等） 位置：在碗里，不停地搅拌 数量：一茶匙的量，一杯水，多量的食用色素，少量的食物色素，一些水，少量的水 学龄儿童/高阶学龄前儿童： “因果"关系：询问他们水和胶水是如何形成黏泥的；询问他们什么关键原料引发了这个化学反应。 先后顺序/讲故事：当你的孩子带着他的新玩具回家后，也就是黏泥，可以让他们告诉其他人他们是如何制作黏泥的。首先...然后...之后...最后。 写一篇作文讲
