I stumbled upon a marvelous “new” sensory medium during the holidays and brought a tin to school. The children have been exploring Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty (color changing, no less) at the tiny table. It’s much like the old Silly Putty you remember from your childhood, but better. Lots of it comes in the tin, it is available in many colors (even magnetic!) and the children are making all sorts of discoveries. It bounces, stretches and snaps. It is a great stress releaser, too (maybe that’s why Tea Time went off without a hitch, this morning)
