Sensory path
Infant and Toddler
| Engagement level:
Create a path of different sights, textures and sounds for your child to wonder at and explore.
Skills and benefits:
- Physical movement
- Sensory exploration
- Balance
- Spatial awareness
- Cause and effect
What you'll need:
- Laminating sheets or thick sandwich bags
- Masking tape
- Recycled or craft materials such as ribbon, bubble wrap, paint, felt, pom poms, leaves and flowers
What to do:
- Fill each laminating pouch or bag with desired materials. If using laminating pouches, seal the edges with an iron or hair straightener so they don't leak.
- Use masking tape to secure pouches onto the floor in a line or pattern.
- Encourage your baby to move themselves to each different pouch.
- Toddlers might enjoy numbers, letters or shapes being added for them to find, or playing jumping games across the path.
