The desire to engage with sensory play comes naturally for children and should be encouraged and supported both at home and in early learning environments. With sensory play, there’s always much more going on than meets the eye. Some benefits of sensory play include building nerve connections to the brain, developing fine motor skills, supporting language development, encouraging scientific thinking and problem solving, and demonstrating mindfulness.
Each week, Mr. Ayers will begin the class by engaging participants in a work of children’s literature. When the story is over, the fun is just beginning! Students will be provided a different sensory experience each week that ties into the book.
