Sensory for Babies

-

 Make no mistake babies want to and love to play. Did you know the most critical year in anybodies life is 0-1. Yes that right so it’s important that we do our very best for our little ones from the very start. 


Sensory activities are great because they engage most if not all senses. The more senses engaged the more connections are made in their little brains ready to embed a skill and move one to the next milestone.
