When discussing sensory stimulation, we talk about the information we receive through our senses and nervous system. When children are born, they perceive information from their surrounding environment, and they start learning. That’s why sensory stimulation is important.

Some parents think children without special needs don’t require stimulation. However, all children need to develop their cognitive, motor, and affective processes.

Don’t forget children will naturally receive stimuli from their surroundings, contributing to their development. Imagine all the things children can achieve when doing sensory activities. They will develop not only their senses but their personality, emotional bonds, and intellectual abilities.

A child does not need special materials to stimulate their senses. Remember, they are already being stimulated by what they see, listen to, feel, touch, or taste. It is recommended that when doing these kinds of activities, the child be in a quiet place, so they feel comfortable and safe.
