Children learn through play. Did you know sensory bins provide a fun and engaging way for children to explore different textures, colors, and shapes, which can help to improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and overall sensory processing abilities? This picture shows children at the North Adams Library Storytime playing in a sensory bin filled with corn, which was donated by Cherry Fork Farm Supply. Thanks for supporting our program!
