Why is Sensory play’ fantastic for brain development ? . It "leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills. An example is a child who is fussy with eating foods with a wet texture such as spaghetti. The use of sensory play can assist the child in touching, smelling and playing with the texture in an environment with little expectation. As the child develops trust and understanding of this texture it helps build positive pathways in the brain to say it is safe to engage with this food." - Educational Play Care . Sensory play literally helps shape what children to believe to be positive and safe in the brain. Ultimately, shaping the choices children make.
