what is sensory play, and why is it so great?
Sensory play is an experience in with children use sight, smell, and/or touch to interact with their environment in a fun way. It plays an essential role in child development that helps them learn about the world around them and how to process a variety of situations and stimuli. Sadly, with a heavy emphasis on test scores and technology, sensory play is often overlooked.
I’m so happy to be able to provide you with a ready to use kit that make sensory play simple, easy, and so much fun! Each Bright Box Sensory Play Kit contains premium scented dough and goodies that children and adults can’t resist! As they squish and mold the dough they build hand muscles that are necessary for writing and buttoning. By describing the variety of smells and textures they are increasing their vocabulary. When they create a story scene they boost creativity which is necessary for creative writing. When they get lost in play they experience the magic of childhood!
There is a wealth of information available about sensory play and child development. I challenge you to get inspired and play more!
