My Project

Hi all I'm looking to add some NEW sensory toys to my classroom this year. Sensory play plays an important role in your child’s development from birth to early childhood. It helps build nerve connections in their brain’s pathways, which can help your child complete complex tasks.

Here’s how sensory play can benefit and help your child.

Helps with language skills

Helps with fine motor skills

Helps with gross motor skills

Helps with cognitive growth

With sensory play, your child is working on problem-solving skills. “It encourages them to explore how to play and engage with different experiences as well as how to maneuver challenges they encounter, things like how to get rice from one container to another or how to stay balanced on a swing.” Messer
