'Jump into Sensory' at Oakwood Road Community Trust Blurton
'Jump into Sensory' at Newcastle Under Lyme Children's Centre
From the moment they’re born, your baby is ready for sensory play.
Sensory play is any activity that stimulates at least one of your child’s senses. We believe the more senses you can include, the better!
It’s through all of our senses that children make links between what we see, what we feel and what we hear. Using their senses is how children make sense of the world around them.
Sensory play supports:
Increased brain development – Children learn about the world around them and their own senses and how their body responds to these different senses.
Fine and Gross Motor Skills - sensory play can involve squeezing, pinching, sorting, placing, and scooping which all help to develop motor skills
Problem-Solving Skills - As children manipulate objects and explore through their senses, they are developing key strategies to problem solving.
Social Interaction - They begin to share their ideas and build on existing relationships and begin to make new friendships.
Language Development – Children learn new ways of talking about the world. It encourages them to communicate effectively with others whilst playing. During sensory play, a child can describe what they are touching, tasting, hearing, seeing, smelling, or experiencing through their body sensations. Learning descriptive words in relation to their senses such as “smooth”, “rough”, “soft”, “cold”, “fragrant”, “sweet”, “spicy” and so many more expand a child’s vocabulary. This vocabulary is learned through parents describing to younger children who
are not yet talking.
There’s another benefit to sensory play that is just as important as all the others mentioned here. It’s fun!
