Intergenerational Play Time @ Potomac
Sensory Day
Saturday, March 16
3:00pm - 4:00pm
Splash, pop, shake, giggle! It's sensory play day!
Sensory day includes a variety of activities that stimulate the senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. At one station you may be playing with blobs of shaving cream. While at another station, you can play with a large water tub and lots of different materials. At yet another station, you may be rattling a relaxing noisemaker. The possibilities are endless!
Intergenerational Play Time @ Potomac is a program that takes place on a monthly basis that fosters wellbeing and community building through the inclusion of all community members. Intergenerational interaction and activity are beneficial to children and adults in so many ways, from decreasing loneliness and depression to increasing self esteem, empathy, and appreciation of diversity. Intergenerational refers to people of different generations interacting in meaningful ways. By creating programs and space to facilitate these kinds of interactions, we hope to strengthen our community. People of all abilities will be able to participate in fun and enriching activities that facilitate connection.
