What is Sensory Play?

Since childhood, children have been taught to use their 5 senses. This is an important phase in the development of children. Therefore, parents can teach them to explore their senses through sensory play.

Actually, sensory play can be learned by babies themselves. However, they do not fully understand objects, people, and all the interactions. Therefore, parents must provide learning to them.

Sensory play is a game tto explore the five senses of children. These activities will help children to develop their motor skills and language skills. In addition, cognitive abilities will also be better. Children also have good social interaction and encourage curiosity.

Sensory play helps to enhance the capabilities of two important sensory systems. These are the proprioceptive and vestibular systems. Proprioception will make them more aware of the body parts.

Meanwhile, the vestibular is a system that regulates movement and balance. Examples are cycling, listening to music, and playing slime. There are many types of sensory play, depending on the age of the child. There are sensory plays for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. All of them are adapted to the stages of development and understanding of children.
