These help them learn new things beyond their imagination and boost their critical thinking skills. But have you considered <strong>helping kids develop their senses?<\/strong><\/p><p>Senses are crucial to your child\u2019s overall growth and development. These allow the little ones to discover and understand the world around them by touching, hearing, smelling, tasting, seeing and moving.&nbsp;<\/p><p>On top of that, the use of the senses significantly improves your child\u2019s memory retention. They can easily retain most of their day-to-day experiences when they engage and interact using their five essential senses.&nbsp;<\/p><p>But the question is, how will you <strong>encourage sensory development in your preschoolers?<\/strong> The answer is simple: sensory play. It\u2019s a type of activity that stimulates your child\u2019s senses.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sensory Development Activities For Preschoolers<\/strong><\/h2><p>Here are some easy activities that\u2019ll help encourage your child\u2019s sensory development and are fun for kids.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Making Fake Snow<\/strong><\/h3><p>Making fake snow is a great way to enjoy the winter season without facing the cold winds outside your cosy and warm home. It helps develop your child\u2019s sense by making them more familiar with what snow should feel like, especially for locations without snow.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Check out these recipes when <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/how-to-make-fake-snow\/\"><strong>making fake snow<\/strong><\/a> in case you plan to make one. These recipes are quick and easy; all you need is baking soda and a choice of wet ingredients like shaving cream, hair conditioner or body lotion.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/how-to-make-fake-snow\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Fake-snow.jpg?resize=940%2C788&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sensory activities for preschool\" class=\"wp-image-26301\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>Here are some ideas on how to play with artificial snow:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make a snowman and snowwoman.<\/li><li>Create a snow castle.<\/li><li>Cut out different shapes using cookie cutters.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Playing With Food<\/strong><\/h3><p>Playing with food may be messy, but it\u2019s a great way to allow children to use and make the most out of their five senses. This opens a lot of opportunities for them to learn and try food options they\u2019ve never heard of.<\/p><p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/28202412\/?from_term=sensory+play&amp;from_pos=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">2017 research<\/a>, preschoolers who not only taste but also squish food items are more eager to try new kinds of food. This is a great way to encourage children to eat a wide range of healthy food, particularly whole food like fruit and vegetables.<\/p><p>To encourage your child to play with food, start by separating mealtimes and playtimes. This will help them understand table manners as they grow. Then, give them noodles to twist, tofu to smash, and cheese to crumble.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Furthermore, make sure their hands remain as clean as possible before play in case they explore the taste of the food you give them.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Playing With Kinetic Sand<\/strong><\/h3><p>Kinetic sand is similar to natural sand but more manageable and moldable because of its higher moisture content than typical sand. Also, it\u2019s like playdough but grainy, soft and squishable. That\u2019s why it\u2019s called the magic sand.<\/p><p>But why should you enforce sand play with your child? Aside from improved senses, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8508018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">a 2021 study<\/a> implies that playing with sand also boosts cognitive, fitness and <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/fine-motor-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">motor skills<\/a>, allowing your preschooler to be physically and mentally active.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/best-homemade-kinetic-sand-recipe-for-sensory-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"503\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/homemade-kinetic-sand-e1651125098349.jpg?resize=600%2C503&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sensory activities for kids\" class=\"wp-image-26043\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/best-homemade-kinetic-sand-recipe-for-sensory-play\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">simple guide<\/a> on how to make kinetic sand.

It\u2019s soft and can be played in any way they want. It also comes in different textures, colours and scents, making it perfect for your child\u2019s sensory development.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/best-homemade-slime-recipes-to-try-with-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Easy-slime-recipe-for-kids.png?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sensory activities for kids\" class=\"wp-image-26276\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>Aside from its sensory benefit, did you know that playing with slime can also impact your and your child\u2019s mental health? According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/slime-mental-health_l_61607c96e4b0cc44c50c70d1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">experts<\/a>, squashing and stretching slime is a great coping mechanism against stress, disturbing thoughts and anxieties for all ages.<\/p><p>In addition, playing with slime allows your kids to explore and showcase their creativity. This makes this activity a good part of sensory development, especially for children who want to dirty their hands.<\/p><p>If you don\u2019t have one yet, you can grab a box from your local stores or <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/best-homemade-slime-recipes-to-try-with-kids\/#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">make your own slime<\/a> at home.&nbsp;<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Playing With Oobleck&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3><p>Oobleck is a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/topics\/physics-and-astronomy\/nonnewtonian-fluids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">non-Newtonian fluid<\/a> due to its combined properties of liquid and solid, making it ideal for your child\u2019s sensory play. When pressure is applied (e.g., making balls), it acts like a solid, but it quickly spreads out like a liquid when released.<\/p><p>Playing with oobleck is also a great way to explore the world of science with your kids. Its properties are probably something your kids have never seen or touched before. Therefore, this gooey substance will surely surprise them and let them have some fun.<\/p><p>If you don\u2019t know how to make one, check out the recipe found in <a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/oobleck-what-is-it-how-to-make-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this blog<\/a>. This recipe is simple; all you need is cornstarch and water. Just adjust this recipe according to the consistency you want. If it\u2019s too wet add more cornstarch\u2014add more water if it\u2019s too dry. Then, your oddly-satisfying non-Newtonian substance will be ready to play with.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. <strong>Playing With Playdough<\/strong><\/h3><p>Playdough has been around for decades, providing a sense of fun and a boost of imagination not only to kids but also to everyone, regardless of age. Its squishy and soft texture makes it a great part of your child\u2019s sensory development.&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kidpillar.com\/easy-best-playdough-recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kidpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/No-cook-play-dough-recipe.jpg?resize=600%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sensory activities for toddlers at home\" class=\"wp-image-26467\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canr.msu.edu\/news\/purpose_of_playing_with_play_dough\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Michigan State University<\/a>, playing with playdough offers great benefits, such as:<\/p><h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improved Math And Science Skills<\/strong><\/h4><p>Making playdough involves measurements and concepts.

Creating your own playdough is also a way to bond with your kids.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. <strong>Gardening With Kids<\/strong><\/h3><p>Gardening is a smart way to help your kids explore and learn outdoors. It\u2019s also a great way to develop their sensory skills as the activity is focused on hands-on tasks. These include soil digging, watering seeds, smelling plants and flowers and planting seeds.&nbsp;<\/p><p>You don\u2019t need to build a greenhouse. All you need is a set of cups or egg trays, seeds of a plant that grows easily and a bottle of water (using a spray bottle is better).&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here are some plants your kids can easily grow:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sunflower<\/li><li>Snap peas<\/li><li>Carrots<\/li><li>Potatoes<\/li><li>Radishes<\/li><li>Pumpkins<\/li><li>Cherry tomatoes<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"khighlighter\"><em>Quick Tip: Wondering how to get your kid started with gardening?

It\u2019s also an effective way to boost and release your child\u2019s energy.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Jumping can be done in many ways with the use of different instruments, such as:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Trampoline<\/li><li>Jumping ropes<\/li><li>Platforms<\/li><\/ul><p>For a more effective jumping activity, create an obstacle course with different jumping routines in every stage at varying difficulties.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here\u2019s an example of an obstacle course featuring jumping activities:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Stage 1: <\/strong>This is the easiest stage. Use the trampoline in this stage and let your kids play with it for around two minutes.<\/li><li><strong>Stage 2:<\/strong> This is the stage with medium difficulty. Your kids can perform jumping jacks, at least 10 repetitions.<\/li><li><strong>Stage 3:<\/strong> This is the most difficult stage. Jumping ropes would be perfect for this stage. Encourage your kids to do around 5-10 jumps to finish the entire obstacle course.<\/li><\/ul><p>Furthermore, don\u2019t forget to congratulate and praise your kids for a job well done. This will encourage them to do it again next time.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. <strong>Playing With Different Temperatures<\/strong><\/h3><p>Playing with hot and cold objects is a great way to introduce different temperatures to your kids and allow them to explore their sensations further.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Here are some playful ideas to try:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Freeze a miniature toy in water and let your kids play with it until the ice has melted in their hands.<\/li><li>Buy a hot pack and let your kids play with it until it cools down.<\/li><li>Give your kids kid-friendly ice chipping tools, a better way to play with ice.<\/li><\/ul><p>Because this can be a little messy, it\u2019s best to do this outside during summer when the temperatures are high.&nbsp;<\/p><p><strong>Final Words<\/strong><\/p><p>The use of senses is crucial to your child\u2019s growth and development.
