5 Quick & Easy Sensory Activities

Sensory play is a vital part of your child’s growth and development. I’ve learned that the more I engage my children in activities that allow them to touch, taste, smell, see, and hear, the quicker they learn, the happier they become, and the more entertained they stay. That’s why I love to see their minds grow with these 5 Quick & Easy Sensory Activities.

I received samples and compensation on behalf of Scentsy for this post. However, all opinions are my own.

When I first introduced my daughter to Pippy the Pig, she let out a squeal of delight and immediately embraced Pippy in her arms. Because she is teething, I constantly find her sucking and biting on the teething rings. Not to mention, she gets a crack out of the crinkly noises when she moves Pippy the Pig around. Talk about the perfect birthday, shower, or just because gift. Be sure to visit Scentsy to learn more about Scentsy Sidekicks.
