Exploring Montessori Sensory Play with Babies
Like us, babies experience this world through their senses. Dr. Maria Montessori shared her beliefs that sensorial experiences begin at birth. Through senses, the child/baby is studying, learning and beginning to understand the environment. The first few years of a child’s life are the most important years for brain developmental, so it is important to let your baby experience things and be able to use all of their senses. Let’s explore Montessori Sensory.
This is a fun Montessori sensory bin for babies and toddlers. An edible experience for your child’s senses. Enjoy!

Baby and toddler sensory play is so much fun. I love to watch Bells explore the potato.
Just like us babies use their senses by listening, seeing, touching, tasting, and smelling.
Add a few scoops a bowl and a brother for even more learning fun.

The noodles squishing around her as she plays. This excites her and makes her so happy.
