Why It’s Important:
Sensory play helps babies and toddlers explore the world through touch, sight, sound, and smell. It supports brain development and builds problem-solving skills.
Tips for Success:
– Use safe, everyday items like spoons, bowls, and soft fabrics.
– Always supervise sensory play to prevent choking hazards.
– Keep it short and fun—5–10 minutes is plenty for little ones.
Activity:
Fill a zip-top bag with hair gel and small buttons, seal it tight, and tape it to the floor. Let your child squish and move the buttons around for a fun sensory experience.
