Sensory Tunnel

My second fieldwork rotation is with CESA 4 school districts in Wisconsin and for a project I created a Sensory Tunnel.

Hint (learn from my mistakes) diameter and circumference as not interchangeable words.

20 inch diameter is too big for most children 3 to 10 years old. 18 inch diameter works well.

My tunnel has lycra and swim suit fabric - because....

Either I am cheap - swim suit fabric is cheaper than lycra.

Or I didn't purchase enough the first time and when I went back to the store they didn't have any lycra to match left.

The kiddo's have been having a great time getting proprioceptive, vestibular and tactile input while improving their motor planning, body awareness, and balance.
