Musical and Sensory Panel

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The world stimulates our senses. Look at it through the colored lenses and see how it changes in different colors! Try to identify all the geometric shapes. Do any of the shapes repeat?

Then move to the musical side of the panel. Pretend to be a musician and create a real orchestra with your friends! Play instruments made from different materials. Do they sound different from one another?

HOW DOES IT SUPPORT CHILD DEVELOPMENT?

Activities that engage multiple senses support a child’s healthy development. The sensory panel stimulates children’s sense of sight. Colors influence mood and emotions and have a significant impact on a child’s psychological development. Sensitivity to colors belongs to the same category of sensory perception as sensitivity to sound.

Playing musical instruments activates both hemispheres of the brain and helps them work in balance. It also develops fine motor skills and hand precision. In addition, it supports emotional and social development. Thanks to the variety of instruments on the musical panel, children have the opportunity to practice cooperation and communication while playing together.

EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

► Activities at the sensory panel provide a great introduction to learning about colors and how colors are created.

► The panel’s lenses are cut into different geometric shapes, making them useful for simple geometry activities.

► At the musical panel, children can create their own melodies or try to reproduce songs they already know.

► Inspired by outdoor music-making, children can also try to create their own musical instruments.

► The musical instruments can also be used during physical education classes or rhythm and movement activities.
