Sensory play means any activity or experience that engages all of a child’s senses of touch, sight, smell, sound, and taste and encourages them to explore the world we live in.
Sensory play is not limited to just babies, it’s really easy to turn games, walks, and even trips to the supermarket into something that will help stimulate your child’s senses. Play expert Amanda Frohlich says sensory play is not only fun and engaging but it also plays a crucial role in a child’s development. “It helps to stimulate brain development, enhances cognitive abilities, and develops fine motor skills. Sensory play can also improve social and emotional skills by encouraging communication, sharing, and cooperation,” she explains.
