Baby Sensory Spot: 𝕃𝕠𝕠𝕤𝕖 ℙ𝕒𝕣𝕥 𝔼𝕩𝕡𝕝𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟

Loose parts exploring is my ᖴᗩᐯOᖇITᗴ! I'm being honest when I tell you that this type of play kept my kids busy, engaged and entertained for a long time-- much longer than anything with plastic, lights and sounds! It's insane!


With babies, loose part play and exploration can look like:

  • Playing with pompoms. Picking up, squeezing, throwing, dumping in and out of cups.

  • Sitting inside a sensory table/bin. Feeling sensory items with bare skin and feet.

  • Playing with homemade salt dough. Squeezing, squishing feet in it, adding other loose parts to it.

  • Reaching hands into sensory tables with play animals, ocean gems, rocks or pebbles, or scooping and pouring water, rice, pasta, beans (all under a close eye for choking hazards!)

  • Exploring different textured household items-- toothbrush, shiny items, kitchen utensils, watches, carpet swatches, etc.

  • Pulling apart cotton balls. Putting them in containers, throwing, stomping on them.


Like always -- this is the shortest list ever! There are endless options! Embrace your baby's curiosity and energy!
