Benefits of Sensory Play for Children

Article Source: health.clevelandclinic.org

Sensory play focuses on activities that engage your child's senses, helping them develop language skills and motor skills. It also helps with cognitive growth, fosters social interactions and encourages experimentation.

Sensory play can also address two sensory systems: our proprioceptive and vestibular systems.

Proprioception sense refers to awareness of one’s body. It helps us know where body parts are relative to one another and tells us how much force we need to exert when holding, pushing, pulling or lifting objects.

Vestibular sense, also known as our movement or balance sense, allows us to maintain balance while engaging in activities.
