Sensory Groups
The Cree Centre has a well-equipped sensory room. The sensory room has lots of sensory lighting
including a large bubble tower light, fibre optic lights, ceiling lights and an
interactive projector light. The popular
interactive projector light projects lots of different images onto the floor in
the sensory room. The images are
interactive so they can be moved and manipulated providing a very unique
sensory experience.
We also do lots of sensory groups such as messy play, sand and water play, tuff tray play and small world play. We have lots of sensory toys, a smells box and a large sensory tent.
