If you think back to your childhood, what do you remember that you enjoyed playing with? I wonder if for many of us, sensory play materials will be a part of those fond memories. I remember when I was pretty young, enjoying mixing mud with my siblings in our backyard. We spent a lot of time making mud, and adding whatever we could find to it. I remember enjoying taking baths together and pretending that the water was a magic potion. I remember building a snow igloo in our yard once with an older teenager who was staying with us at the time. I remember spending hours in a large sandbox, creating things and playing little games with my siblings.

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.
