Shapes help children with a range of important skills including:

• Improved communication – the ability to use shapes to describe objects will greatly enhance a child’s ability to verbally communicate. For example, being able to use descriptive phrases such as ’round cookie’ or ‘square window’.

• Greater creative skills – the ability to draw or create shapes will help your child transition from stick figure drawings into more detailed drawings using shapes or be able to create a face out of craft pieces.

• Sorting objects – children can use shapes as a method for sorting objects. Children that can sort objects by circles, squares, triangles, ovals or rectangles.

Character dolls to play make-believe

Make believe, also known as pretend play, is a loosely structured form of play that generally includes role-play, object substitution and nonliteral behavior. Pretend play is not only associated with developing general cognitive abilities and reinforcing existing knowledge, but recent research has been investigating how children learn new knowledge during pretend play.

When children participate in pretend play, they are integrating and strengthening previously acquired knowledge. Children who have better pretense and fantasy abilities also show better social competence, cognitive capabilities, and an ability to take the perspective of others.

5 Easy and Fun Sensory Activities for Toddlers at Home

Editor's Note:

This article was originally written to help families during the global pandemic. We have updated it to be a timeless resource for any parent looking for fun, screen-free ways to keep their children engaged at home, whether it's a rainy day, a school holiday, or just a quiet afternoon.

How do we keep our young children busy, learning, and happy at home, especially when there isn't much space to run around? The answer is sensory play! One fun activity per day can keep the stress away and create wonderful bonding moments.

Did you know that when a child uses two or more senses at the same time, their brain works more optimally to absorb and store new information? That's why experts agree that multi-sensory activities are a more productive and beneficial alternative to screen time.

The best part? All of the following activities can be done with simple materials you likely already have at home.

5 Multi-Sensory Activities for Children Under 3

1. Edible Finger Painting

This is often a child's first art project and a perfect multi-sensory activity. It introduces textures, colors, and even tastes! Because younger children love to put everything in their mouths, it's best to DIY an edible paint that is completely safe.

How to make it: Simply mix cornstarch with water until you have a smooth consistency, then divide it into a few cups and add a different drop of food coloring to each. Voila! You have a safe, vibrant paint ready for little hands to explore.

2. "Dinosaur Dig" Treasure Hunt

This activity is perfect for introducing letters and concepts while playing. Fill a bucket or storage container with clean sand, uncooked rice, or dried pasta. Hide some small dinosaur toys within the sand. For an extra learning step, you can stick letters on them (e.g., the letter 'D') and have your child group them as they find them. This simple game teaches texture, discovery, and early literacy skills.

3. Water Balloon Bath

Make bath time even more fun and educational! Fill several colored balloons with water. In the tub, your child can explore the balloons, introducing a rich vocabulary of descriptive words: slippery, smooth, heavy, light, squishy. This turns a routine activity into a fun sensory lesson.

4. Creative Play with Rice

Rice is a fantastic and inexpensive alternative to sand for sensory bins. To make it even more exciting, you can color it by shaking a cup of rice with a few drops of food coloring and a teaspoon of vinegar (the vinegar smell will disappear as it dries).

You can use your colorful rice for all kinds of activities:

• Bury "treasure" like small toys or blocks for a treasure hunt.

• Pour it into clear plastic bottles to make colorful shakers.

• Simply let your child run their hands through it to enjoy the texture and sound.

5. Jello Dig

This activity turns snack time into a productive and exciting sensory experience. Simply make a batch of gelatin (Jello) as usual, but before it sets, add large pieces of fruit (like mandarin orange segments or berries) or other edible, baby-safe objects. Your child will love digging through the jiggly, cool texture to find the treats inside. It stimulates all their senses and fills their tummy at the same time!

6. Explore with Open-Ended Sensory Toys

Not all sensory play has to be a messy DIY project! Some of the world's best toys are specifically designed to engage a child's senses in an open-ended way.

• For pure sensory exploration, nothing beats the Swiss-designed toys from MOLUK. Their products are made from high-quality, food-grade silicone with unique, tactile shapes. They can be spinning tops, bath toys, or stackable objects, encouraging play that is driven by a child's own curiosity.

• For a different kind of tactile building, the flexible magnetic pieces from Clixo click and bend in satisfying ways, merging the art of origami with construction.

• The simple, single-shape design of Plus-Plus provides a wonderfully tactile experience as children connect the pieces to create 2D mosaics or 3D structures.

It turns out it's not difficult to create multi-sensory activities at home. While they might get a little messy, the developmental benefits and the joyful memories you create are absolutely worth it.
