The Preschool at Yeshiva in Pittsburgh transformed their sensory room into a full body Pesach experience, fully immersing the children in exciting Pesach preparations.
The teachers devoted in-service hours to planning and creating the sensory room, making sure that when the children walked in to school after Purim they would see a brand new experience waiting for them.
The sensory room boasts a larger than life soft seder plate in the center of the room with removable items that the children can touch and manipulate. There is a matzah factory where the children create and bake clay matzot and an area to create matzah rubbings.
The four cups of wine come to life at the water table where children pour and measure purple water into various sized silver cups. Behind fabric suspended from the ceiling hides a darkened mini-living room where the children use flashlights, feathers, and spoons to search for 10 hidden pieces of chametz. The learning continues in each classroom where the children are cleaning their rooms for Pesach and are using Pesach themed materials in play, literacy, and art explorations.

this is amazing! i can see many hours of hard work went into this room and i’m sure it was lots of fun and very educational for the children. i just have one complaint why jewish music was not used for the background of the slide. As lubavitcher chasssdim we know how important music is and what a tremendoous effect it has, specially for children. hatzlocho
