Children use their senses to explore the world as soon as they are born. However, not all children find it easy to understand the messages they receive from their senses. The brain growth that occurs through sensory play enhances children’s senses, and their enhanced senses in turn make them better able to use those senses for learning. Sensory activities and materials, like weighted blankets, fidgets and other sensory toys, facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. Sensory play offers immense benefits in the development of a child. The benefits can help develop skills such as language, social, fine motor, gross motor, dramatic play, scientific reasoning, and self control skills.
