Sensory stimulation and toddlers

Sensory stimulation is an important aspect of a toddler’s development, as it helps them explore and understand the world around them. Here are some suggestions for sensory stimulation for toddlers:

Sensory Stimulation for Toddlers:

1. Play with textures: Provide a variety of textures for your toddler to touch and explore, such as soft fabrics, bumpy toys, or squishy balls.

2. Engage in sensory play: Set up sensory bins with materials like sand, water, rice, or beans for your toddler to play and discover different sensations.

3. Use music and movement: Encourage your toddler to dance or clap to music, sing songs together, or play with musical instruments to stimulate their auditory senses.

4. Explore nature: Take your toddler for walks in nature, where they can experience different sounds, smells, and textures like grass, leaves, or flowers.

5. Sensory toys: Provide toys that stimulate different senses, such as rattles, textured balls, or toys that make different sounds when pressed or squeezed.
