Sensory play is crucial for children's development because it engages multiple senses—sight, touch, smell, sound, and sometimes taste. Here are some key reasons why sensory play is important:

Promotes Brain Development: Sensory play stimulates the brain and helps to develop neural connections that are essential for learning. The more senses children use, the more their brain forms new pathways, which aids in cognitive development.

Enhances Fine and Gross Motor Skills: Manipulating materials like dough, sand, or water helps children improve their fine motor skills, such as hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity. It also engages gross motor skills when they are moving around or using their whole body in play
