Sensory play is lots of fun! From the moment they are born, babies use their senses to explore and understand the world around them. Babies and toddlers are naturally curious and inquisitive, like little sponges, ready to explore and soak in every opportunity we can offer them. Sensory play sessions aim to further develop and enhance their experiences and learning through providing opportunities to stimulate senses such as touch, hearing, seeing, smelling and tasting! Sensory play also plays an important role in a child’s learning and development. Much of our learning comes through our ability to use our senses to retain information.

​

• Some of the benefits of sensory play include;

• Helping children understand how their actions affect what’s around them.

• Supporting brain development, enhancing memory, complex tasks and problem solving.

• Developing fine motor skills through tactile play (useful when children want to hold a pen or use scissors for example).

• Supporting language development, communication and social skills.

• Enhancing memory and observational skills.

• Encouraging creative and independent thinking.

• Emotional regulation by providing a calming effect on children’s angry or anxious feelings.

Our bespoke sessions are planned over a 6 week block and aimed to support babies and toddlers in reaching the next milestone in their development. Please contact us via Facebook or Instagram to find out more or to book your sessions or alternatively drop us an email at LavenderELAcademy.mail.com.
