With sensory play, there’s always much more going on than meets the eye. Sensory activities, in addition to being fun and interesting for babies and young children, encourage children to explore and investigate. Furthermore, these activities support children to use the ‘scientific method’ of observing, forming a hypothesis, experimenting and making conclusions.
Sensory activities also allow children to refine their thresholds for different sensory information, helping their brain to create stronger connections to sensory information and learn which are useful and which can be filtered out.
Through sensory play, the child can learn to block out the noise which is not important and focus on the play which is occurring with their peer.
Noah's Park and Playgrounds offers many options when it comes to sensory play equipment for infants and toddlers. From musical sounds to sand play, all are a great tool for indoor and outdoor classrooms as daycares, schools, churches and more.
