What are sensory toys and why are they important?

Sensory toys are designed to engage a child’s senses – such as touch, sound and movement – to encourage exploration and learning. They are excellent for supporting brain development, improving focus and building coordination.

Which sensory toys are best for toddlers?

For younger children, choose safe age-appropriate toys like textured balls, stacking cups or spinning chairs. These toys inspire curiosity while helping to develop fine motor skills.

Can sensory toys help with child development?

Yes. Sensory toys stimulate cognitive growth, improve problem-solving skills and encourage social interaction. They also help children learn cause and effect through hands-on play.

Do I need a special area for sensory play?

Not at all. A small corner or play mat is enough. Using trays or containers helps keep sensory activities tidy and easy to set up.

Are all sensory toys safe for babies and toddlers?

Always check the age recommendation on each toy. Avoid small or detachable parts for children under three to reduce any choking risk.
