Baby Sensory at The Carding Shed

A multi-sensory experience allowing your baby to explore fibre optic lights, textures and sounds. Helping to improve brain development, fine motor skills and balance and movement are just a few of the benefits all the while spending quality time bonding with your baby.

Sometimes knowing how to ‘play’ with your baby is hard so we have lots of tips and ideas to help you make the most of your time.

Why Baby Sensory?

Enhanced Brain Development

Sensory activities stimulate neural pathways in the brain, aiding cognitive development and enhancing learning capabilities.

Improved Motor Skills

Engaging in activities that involve touch, sound, and movement helps babies develop both fine and gross motor skills.

Better Language Acquisition

Exposure to different sounds, rhythms, and patterns through sensory activities supports language development and early communication skills.

Sensory Awareness

Babies become more aware of their surroundings and learn to process and respond to sensory information effectively.

Social Skills Development

Participating in group sensory activities helps babies develop social skills, such as sharing, turn-taking, and interacting with others

Emotional Regulation

Sensory play can be soothing and help babies manage their emotions, reducing anxiety and promoting a sense of security.

Creativity and Imagination

Sensory activities encourage creativity and imaginative play, allowing babies to explore and discover new ways to interact with their environment.

Problem-Solving Skills

Engaging in sensory activities that involve sorting, matching, and identifying different textures and objects enhances problem-solving abilities.

Physical Health

Active sensory play promotes physical health by encouraging movement and exercise, contributing to overall physical well-being and coordination.
