Benefits of Sensory Play

Young children explore with their senses first. Infants and toddlers naturally initiate discoveries about the world around them, so providing a variety of interesting sensory experiences can pique their curiosity and support their brain development.   Even before children can speak, they are developing an understanding of things in their environment by actively exploring them with all their senses. 

As they become more verbal, they are able to describe similarities and differences in what they see, hear, taste, touch, and smell. For example, each time a child explores sand, he is confirming his previous explorations and discoveries that sand is dry, gritty, and so forth, and he will eventually notice other materials that share those same characteristics.
