Sensory Play • Program

Hands-on exploration

Using our senses to explore scientific processes during playful learning.

Sensory Play

This program can include any activity that stimulates a child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing. Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate, and explore which can lead to longer attention spans and focus in addition to improving their coordination and motor skills.
