Few things cannot be taught by words, they require touching, smelling & feeling. That is why sensory play is very important. This is an integral part of early education. Sensory play includes such activities that stimulate your child\u2019s senses \u2013 touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing. Experts suggest various benefits of including this in early education.
