Were you disappointed that our In-Person Beyond the Bin Workshop is happening in Edmonton? No worries!

We are offering the professional development portion of this workshop VIRTUALLY for those who cannot attend in person.

Facilitated by Kayla Snidal of Capable Learners, this session explores how sensory bins can be used as a purposeful learning tool rather than a stand-alone activity. Participants will examine why sensory play matters, how it supports development across age groups, and how to plan and facilitate sensory experiences intentionally within a dayhome setting.

This session is ideal for providers who want practical, developmentally informed strategies they can apply immediately, whether they are new to sensory play or looking to deepen their practice.

What We’ll Cover

• The purpose and benefits of sensory play in early learning

• How sensory bins support self-regulation, engagement, and development

• Planning sensory experiences for mixed-age dayhome groups

• Selecting and adapting materials to meet diverse needs

• Strategies for intentional facilitation and extending learning through sensory play

Please Note

A separate in-person “Make & Take” workshop is occurring in Edmonton on March 14 for participants who want to attend in person. Tickets can be purchased here: https://adsn.ca/product/beyond-the-bin-make-take-workshop/
