Preschoolers are some of the most curious people in the world. As your child gets older, they’ll experience new things and become interested in their surroundings. One of the many things your child will want to learn about are senses. Although you already know how certain objects look or feel, these sensations may be new to your child. Using sensory activities can help your child grow and give them a better understanding of what’s around them. Learn more about sensory development for your preschooler and how multi-sensory activities can help their growth.
