What are tactile sensory activities?

These are hands-on experiences designed to stimulate and develop the sense of touch through interaction with textures, shapes, and temperatures.

Why are they important?

Tactile sensory activities improve fine motor skills, encourage sensory integration, and promote emotional regulation through calming or engaging stimuli.

How can I try these activities at home?

Start with simple ideas like sensory bins, fabric explorations, or playdough. Use easily available materials for convenience.

How do I adapt for sensitivities?

Start with non-messy, soft textures and gradually introduce more stimulating materials as comfort grows.
