What is a Sensory Toy?
Sensory Toys are joyful objects utilized at home or in classroom that aids in stimulating the senses. For educational purposes the sensory toy is often used to help children (and some adults) to calm down or gain grounding so they can engage work and learn.
These toys are specifically designed to stimulate the five senses namely hearing, touching, smell, taste and sight. These toys offer an accessible method for people to cope and increase concentration.
