Safe Sensory Play for Toddlers and Preschoolers. A popular developmental activity for toddlers and preschoolers is sensory play. It involves the use of various sensory-friendly items that react to children’s senses of touch, smell, sight, sound, and taste.
There are huge benefits to sensory activities, and there are just so many ways to fit them into your day. Kids make their own activities by simply putting their fingers in everything they can. (I’m assuming these aren’t just my kids.) Even just inviting your child to listen and look can be a sensory experience.
There is one thing that some sensory activities for toddlers don’t always accommodate. That is a child’s desire to taste, well, everything! We all know babies love to put things in their mouths from just a month old or so, but the big kids like to do it sometimes too.
So when I’m looking for sensory ideas, even sensory activities for 3 year olds, I still consider the taste factor. Why not embrace it?
Here are some of our favorite taste safe sensory play ideas.
