🌈OVERALL BENEFITS OF SENSORY PLAY:

Sensory play includes play that engages any of your child’s senses. This includes touch, smell, sight, sound and taste. But it also covers movement, balance, and spatial awareness. When a child is born, their senses aren’t fully developed. They only mature over time by exploring through their senses and sensorial activities around them in the world. Each new experience they have with a different sense builds nerve connections that grow the architecture of their brain!

There are many benefits that may go unnoticed, such as the development of abilities to focus and block out distractions. Sensory play is an important part of childhood and, within reason, there are really no limits to what you can use in sensory activities.
