Why sensory activities? Sensory input and activities provides opportunities for exploration and naturally encourages children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. Sensory activities allow children to redefine their understanding of different sensory information thus helping their brain to create stronger connections to process and respond to sensory information. Why sensory activities? Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction; all crucial skills needed by special needs learners. Also, sensory play aids in development and enhancement of memory. Sensory play is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child; emotions typically observable with this population of learners. Sensory input helps children learn sensory attributes (ie. hot, cold, sticky, dry). Why sensory activities? Sensory activities should be incorporated into early childhood learning. In my classroom, I would like to provide sensory opportunities to my students through the use of a sensory table. This table can be filled with water, sand, beans, letters, curly ribbons, apples, pumpkins and pumpkin seeds that are used to sort, measure, match and explore!
