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.
