Children's sensory play is an activity designed to stimulate and engage children's senses in a series of sensory experiences. The senses include sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. The main purpose of sensory play is to help children develop and strengthen their sensory skills.

Sensory play usually involves using materials or objects with different textures, shapes, colors, smells or sounds. This activity allows children to explore, try and experience the world around them through direct interaction with the sensory materials. This sensory play can be a tool to help stimulate children's senses. However, the stimulation provided should not be excessive and should be age-appropriate.

If sensory play is not age-appropriate, it can cause your child to be uncomfortable and cranky. For that, let's know the idea of sensory games for babies based on their age:

Infants (0-12 months)

Teether toys with different textures to stimulate the gums and sense of touch.

Toys that can make sounds or vibrate to stimulate hearing.

Hairy balls or furry toys to stimulate the sense of touch.

Toys with small mirrors to stimulate vision and curiosity.

Stacks of different objects, such as plastic cups, to train eye and hand coordination.

Toddlers (1-3 years)

Kinetic sand or playdough to stimulate the sense of touch and stimulate creativity.

Mini fountain or bathtub filled with water to stimulate the sense of touch and hearing.

Squeezable and squeezable toys to practice fine motor skills.

Toy balls with different textures to stimulate the sense of touch.

Watercolors or finger paints to stimulate the sense of sight and creativity.

Preschoolers (3-5 years)

Mixing games with ingredients such as oat porridge or hand dough to stimulate sense of touch and creativity.

Sand board or kinetic sand with molds and play tools to stimulate sense of touch and imagination.

Painting activities with various media, such as watercolors, crayons, or colored pencils to stimulate the sense of sight and creativity.

Playing with natural materials, such as leaves, flowers, or sand, to stimulate the sense of touch and knowledge of the environment.

Simple cooking games, such as mixing dough or making food with different textures, to stimulate the sense of touch and engage fine motor skills.

Every child is a unique individual, so it is important to consider the child's interests and development when choosing sensory play. Also make sure to provide appropriate supervision and safety during play.

Don't let your child feel uncomfortable while playing. Children will become lazy if what they wear is uncomfortable. one of them is the diapers used in children. Make sure your little one is using a diaper that is comfortable and does not hinder their movement. Like all MAKUKU SAP Diapers variants which are made from SAP (Super Absorbent Polymer) core structure. MAKUKU diapers are thinner than other diapers and MAKUKU absorption is very good so that the diaper surface stays dry longer. And MAKUKU SAP Diapers with SAP can help reduce the risk of leakage and diaper rash. (Aq/MKK)
