Connecting Brain Pathways During sensory play, children are encouraged to use scientific exploration to investigate & solve problems as they play. These are just some of the benefits of sensory play: Brain Development and Cognitive Growth Language Development Fine-tuning Motor Skills Awareness and Adaptability Problem Solving Skills Similar to children, adults learn and retain important information by using their senses.
Combining Senses “People generally remember 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, and 50% of what they see and hear.” -D.G. Treichler
Why Does Any of This Matter? Research shows that sensory experiences activate connections in the brain’s pathways, enhancing our ability to learn and retain information, helps us solve problems, boosts confidence, and expands our imagination.
