Sensory play is any activity that stimulates children’s senses: touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing. Below you can find links to videos and activities to continue incorporating sensory play while at home.

Why is sensory play important for development? From birth through to early childhood, children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them. They do this by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing. Children and even adults learn best and retain the most information when they engage their senses. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. Sensory activities allow children to refine their thresholds for different sensory information helping their brain to create stronger connections to process and respond to sensory information.
