At Creative Kids Academy nursery preschool in Abu Dhabi we love sensory play. Our trained staff ensure to have an array of sensory activities daily for the children to explore.

From birth through to early childhood, children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them. At creative kids academy nursery in Abu Dhabi understand that children do this by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing.

Our Sensory play activities at Creative Kids Academy nursery child care in Abu Dhabi includes activities that stimulate children’s senses such as sight, sound, smell, taste or touch. By providing these types of activity children at Creative Kids Academy nursery in Abu Dhabi will learn more about the world around them in a natural way, through their senses. Such activities contribute to brain development by stimulating the neurons in the brain to make connections, and help with development in all areas of learning.

This will help in laying out the foundation for learning other skills, such as identifying objects by touch and using fine and gross motor skills. These motor skills can be refined through molding, scooping, splashing and shaping objects. Sensory activities, in addition to being fun and interesting for young children; encourages them to explore and investigate. These activities support children to use the ‘scientific method’ of observing, forming a hypothesis, experimenting and making conclusions.

This can be done not only while children are in nursery this can be extended at home. The idea is to encourage little ones to use their senses to play, create, investigate and explore. Sensory play can be an early, but important step in the development process. We understand that a lot of sensory play may involve mess but that’s ok, the messier the better. We at creative Kids Academy nursery in Abu Dhabi love mess, and encourage children to explore and discover as messy as it gets, we suggest you do the same!
