Why Sensory Play?

Why Sensory Play?

Posted by Sarah Potts on

Sensory play is essential for young children’s development because it helps build nerve connections in the brain, supports language growth, motor skills, problem solving and encourages curiosity and creativity.

Here's why it matters:

Brain development: Sensory activities help form neural pathways that improve cognitive growth and learning.

Fine motor skills: Tasks like scooping, pouring, squeezing, or crawling through textures develop muscle control and coordination.

Language development: As children describe what they see, feel, or smell, they expand their vocabulary and communication skills.

Social skills: It promotes sharing, turn-taking, and cooperation during group play.

Calming and regulation: Sensory play can help children self soothe, regulate emotions, and manage anxiety or overstimulation.

Encourages exploration: Engaging the senses invites children to explore and experiment, building curiosity, confidence and imagination.
