PATA Pocket-Sized: Oral Health (Through Sensory Play)

Please book by 3rd May as a decision will be made on this date as to whether the course is viable to run.

Please note this course was originally advertised to take place on Wednesday 5th June but we have had to change it to Tuesday 4th June,

Toddlers and very young children often put things in their mouths, grind their teeth, chew on their clothes as a way to develop a sense of their bodies. Oral seeking children may even try to bite others.

This hour long session will explore the importance of oral sensory play and taste experiences as stimulating all our senses by considering:

• how developing a strong sense of taste and smell helps children become familiar with different flavours and textures.

• oral motor activity ideas (including the story of Mr Tongue) – to develop the control of children’s lips, tongue and saliva.

• why oral health is in the EYFS framework.

Please be aware that PATA Pocket Sized sessions are an insight to the subject topic and given the short time, inevitably, we won't be able to cover everything.  If more in-depth training is required then we may be able to offer this if there is enough interest or as a bespoke course for you.  Also, please be mindful that these sessions can be fast paced with lots of information contained within them to ensure you get the most out of the hour session.
