Sensory Play and Early Child Development

In our classroom we are going to have many different sensory bins. Some are seasonal, such as the Christmas bin and Halloween bin, whilst others will be there all year round, such as the sand bin, compost bin, rice bin, water bin and beans bin.

        


Sensory play includes any activity that stimulates your young child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing. Sensory activities and sensory tables facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. Spending time stimulating their senses helps children develop cognitively, linguistically, socially and emotionally, physically and creatively.
