First of all, what is "Sensory Play"?
Sensory play is any activity that engages your child's senses, such as: splashing in water, digging in sand, scooping and pouring rice, painting with scented paints, or squishing play dough. Children learn about the world with all five senses, so playful activities that stimulate a child's sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell are beneficial to development.
