7 great reasons why sensory toys are truly "sensible" 💡
Sensory development plays a decisive role in children's growth and cognitive development. Toys that specifically focus on the development of the senses are becoming more and more popular with parents for good reasons. Here's why sensory toys for children aged 3 years old and up are so popular and effective:
- 1. Holistic sensory development: At the development stage of 3 years old, children experience a significant increase in brain activity. Sensory toys that offer visual, auditory, tactile, and olfactory stimulation promote the holistic development of all of the senses. By activating various sensory channels, children can thoroughly develop their sensory skills, which has a positive effect on their cognitive capabilities, motor skills, and social skills.
- 2. Creativity and imagination: Sensory toys stimulate synaptic activity in the brain, which promotes the development of creativity and imagination. Touching, smelling, and hearing various different materials strengthens children's neuronal connections, which in turn improves their creative problem-solving skills and imagination.
- 3. Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination: Exploring structures, textures, and sounds supports the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. When interacting with sensory toys that engage the actions of grasping, touching, and pulling, children improve their motor skills and strengthen their finger dexterity.
- 4. Differentiation skills: Sensory games require children to be able to differentiate different textures, sounds, and materials using their various senses. This promotes the development of their differentiation skills in which they learn to perceive the finer details of how something feels or sounds.
- 5. Memory formation: Just like with classic versions of the Memory game, games like Touch Memory, a Touch Box, or acoustic Memory games require children to identify and describe the properties of objects. This supports their memory development in that children learn to take note of and remember specific features.
- 6. Concentration and attention: In order to find the matching pairs in games such as sensory Memory games, children have to pay full attention to the properties of the objects. This promotes the development of concentration and attention span as children learn to focus on these details.
- 7. Speech development: While children explore various objects, they're also improving their vocabulary and ability to verbalise their sensory experiences. This can have a positive effect on their speech and language development as they learn to communicate what they perceive.
