Sensory play is all about a multidimensional approach to learning. The sounds, smells, feel, sight, and YEP even taste for those littlest ones. It’s important to provide sensory bases that are non-choking hazards and taste safe—that doesn’t mean its snack time but it’s okay if your little one takes a taste or two. It’s totally normal for your little one to put things in their mouth—there are so many nerve endings in the tongue and mouth, it makes sense your little one wants to put things in there! Our weather in Dayton this week is rainy and dreary, so we needed something inside to fill G’s sensory diet. Enter: popcorn kernels. To be honest, G was really excited about throwing the popcorn in the dining room, so I reduced the amount available and added some recycled egg cartons and applesauce cups to guide his play a bit. Keep the broom handy—and be sure to supervise while your little one explores!
