Young children are constantly learning about and exploring the world around them. As they touch, see and hear objects in their environment, they learn through their senses. The development and fine tuning of these senses is also very important for their overall development and growth. Allowing children to engage in sensory play is, therefore, beneficial and highly encouraged. Sensory play offers many benefits for a child’s development. It can help to improve fine and gross motor skills, as well as improving coordination and encouraging them to engage in activities such as writing, drawing and walking.
Sensory play can also help children to develop social and language skills, helping to improve communication and cooperation, as well as critical reasoning. Sensory play can also be soothing and comforting for children, with many finding certain sounds and textures relaxing, so engaging with low energy, sensory play at the end of the day can help wind children down after a hectic day. Sensory play also helps children’s brains make links between what they see, feel, and hear. It stimulates the neurons in the brain to make connections and helps with development and learning.
