Sensory Play
Sensory play is a type of play based learning that involves actively engaging the senses. It develops cognitive, linguistic, physical, and social emotional skills. Plus it is just plain fun. PBS has an article about it you can read here.
Since I try to incorporate sensory play into our school time, I have a bunch of posts about it scattered throughout the blog. It was definitely time that I gather them in one place! Here are some of the sensory play activities we have done, and some ideas for others!
