According to the Cleveland Clinic, 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 is important as it plays an important role in your child’s development from birth to early childhood. It helps build nerve connections in their brain’s pathways, which can help your child complete complex tasks.  Tactile play is a great way to address and home in on using a child’s fine motor skills in a fun way.  Allowing your child to freely explore small sensory contents like dried pasta, dry cereal, rice or even slime or play dough can strengthen and build their fine motor skills.

Here’s how sensory play can benefit and help your child.

  • Helps with language skills
  • Helps with fine motor skills
  • Helps with gross motor skills
  • Helps with cognitive growth
  • Has a calming effect
  • Fosters social interaction

Asking questions, thinking about how things work, doing experiments and analyzing results are all part of healthy cognitive growth. It’s how we learn something new and figure things out. It’s also how we problem solve.

With sensory play, your child is working on problem-solving skills.  It encourages them to explore how to play and engage with different experiences as well as how to maneuver challenges they encounter, things like how to get rice from one container to another or how to stay balanced on a swing.  Your sensory system can also help you calm down. This is particularly important for children as they develop.  By engaging in sensory play with siblings or peers, your child begins developing social skills. They’ll learn how to communicate, how to troubleshoot problems and learn to adapt to how others play.
