Enhanced Memory - Playing with our senses allow us to make connections between moments and our senses.

Improvement in all areas of development - Sensory play aids all areas of development; cognitive, language, social, problem solving, and motor skills.

Hands on learning - Children learn about different sensory inputs such as sound (loud and soft), touch (smooth and rough), sight (near and far), smell (sweet and sour), and taste (salty and sweet).
