Sensory play involves activities that engage a child’s senses, such as touch, taste, smell, and sight. Here are some of the benefits of sensory play for toddlers:
- Promotes cognitive development. Sensory play helps toddlers learn about the world around them and develop their cognitive skills, such as problem-solving and critical thinking.
- Develops fine motor skills. Activities such as pouring and scooping can help improve a child’s hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
- Encourages creativity. Sensory play encourages exploration and experimentation, which can help spark a child’s creativity and imagination.
Some examples of sensory play include playing with water or sand, finger painting, and playing with playdough. Be sure to supervise your child during sensory play to ensure their safety and have fun exploring and learning together.
