How do I create a sensory play area at home?

Creating a sensory play area at home can stimulate your toddler’s senses and promote exploration. Here’s how:

1. Designate a Space: Choose a safe area in your home, like a corner of a room or a playroom, for sensory activities.
2. Select Sensory Materials: Include various textures like rice, sand, water, and play dough. Consider using bins for easy cleanup.
3. Incorporate Tools: Provide tools like scoops, spoons, and containers to encourage pouring, digging, and exploring.
4. Rotate Activities: Keep the play area fresh by rotating sensory materials regularly to maintain interest.
5. Supervise: Always supervise your child during sensory play, ensuring safety and providing guidance as needed.
