Sensory Play
Sensory bins are a simple and fun way to help children engage their senses by playing with safe materials full of textures, colors, movements, sounds and smells. Stimulating their sense through play is one of the best ways to support all areas of their development - language, motor, social, brain & problem-solving skills. The benefits are endless and your little one will simply know they're having fun. So roll up your sleeves and get ready to PLAY!
Don't forget to add in some literacy by reading a related story.
Below are a few of Kids In Full Bloom's favorite sensory bins we rotate through our preschool classroom.
The parents have just as much fun as the kids, and we promise you will too!
