What are Sensory Activities?
Sensory activities are literally ‘hands-on’ activities that revolve around one of the five senses – in this case, TOUCH! All of your printable recipes will allow your child to explore that sense in a fun and unique way. It will not only encourage their curiosity but also helps to promote development. So great, right?! Take a look at the included TOUCH sensory recipes below, and keep reading through the post for a more detailed description of them:
