Sensory Experience for Infants


Some scientists believe that sensory experiences (touching, hearing, tasting, seeing, and smelling) are like food for the brain.

Make sure your child care room has interesting things for babies to touch and safely put into their mouths. Allow for messy experiences.
Many infants love to touch their food and explore with their fingers.
Outdoor play for infants includes riding in a carriage or stroller; however, infants should also be offered opportunities for gross motor play outdoors.

Watch to see what sensory experiences a baby enjoys and respond to her signals. Babies will let you know if there is too much going on around them by turning away and/or crying.
