Sensory bags allow children to explore, discover, imagine, create, and learn while engaging many of their senses. Sensory play impacts many areas of development including:
- Language skills – a child will expand and develop their vocabulary and grammar as they describe the senses they are experiencing.
- Sensory input – providing sensory input to meet a child’s needs.
- Fine motor skills – through manipulating small objects, a child’s fine motor skills are improved.
- Social skills – by communicating what they are experiencing and sharing sensory play with others, a child will naturally improve their social skills.
