Additionally, sensory play is an important part of a child learning.
SENSORY PLAY BENEFITS
Sensory playing teaches many things.
For instance, it helps children organize information.
When a child uses one of the five senses: sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste it nurtures exploration.
Basically, instead of telling, we’re encouraging children to explore and investigate.
Furthermore, sensory play builds fine motor activities.
Children are strengthening their fine motor activities while having fun.
And when you discuss with your child what he feels, sees, hears, smells or tastes his language development is boosted.
Finally, look at how to make this fun marshmallow slime.
