Collection: Sensory Play

Sensory play involves any type of play that engages one or more of the senses in our body. These include: sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell.

Providing opportunities for children to actively use these senses through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development. Sensory play helps to build new neural pathways in the brain. By supporting cognitive growth, children will develop an ability to complete more complex learning tasks including:

- Language development

- Fine motor and gross motor skills

- Develops social skills and emotional intelligence

- Problem solving skills

- Inspires creativity

- Aids and enhances memory

- Helps calm and relax an anxious, frustrated or nervous child. By creating a calming experience, the likelihood of meltdowns and tantrums are reduced.
