Discussing the Benefits of Sensory Tables
At Roberta Webb Childcare Center, they played with multiple sensory tables and listed why sensory tables are beneficial to use.
The benefits of sensory tables
If parents ever ask why sensory tables are useful to educating students, these are great reasons to share with them:
1. Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.
2. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving skills, and social interaction.
3. This type of play aids in developing and enhancing memory.
4. Sensory play is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child
5. This helps children learn sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry)
Sensory tables are clearly wonderful to do with students!
