Hello!

I am a mum of two and loved watching my own children develop and create with my homemade playdough kits.

I wanted to create and share with other families, a sensory play experience. 

Sensory play stimulates children’s senses and helps them develop creatively, socially, emotionally, cognitively, linguistically and physically. All this just through play – AMAZING! 

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.

Providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development – it helps to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways.

This leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills.  

Here are 5 reasons why sensory play is beneficial:  

1.   Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.  

2.   Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.  

3.   This type of play aids in developing and enhancing memory  

4. Sensory play is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child 

5.This helps children learn sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry)
