Children are naturally curious during the toddler and preschool years – eager to touch, explore, and understand the world around them. The right sensory equipment helps nurture that curiosity.

Hands-on activities are great for toddlers. Playmats,wooden rattles and interactive sensory toys for babies build early coordination, language, and problem-solving skills. As children grow, sensory play continues to support fine motor development, social interaction, and creative thinking. Tools like wooden blocks, sensory cubes, instruments, and lights encourage collaboration and deeper learning, one discovery at a time.

FAQ:

What are sensory toys and what are the benefits?

Sensory toys help toddlers and children feel calm, focused, and grounded by stimulating their senses in gentle, playful ways. They support all kids in developing coordination, balance, and strength while offering calming moments. For neurodivergent kids, sensory play can be a powerful tool to regulate emotions and reduce stress, making it easier to concentrate and feel at ease.

What age group are sensory toys suitable for?

Children are ready for sensory toys from birth. However, some toys contain small parts that are not suitable for children aged 3 and under. At PSE we have equipment for every age group, from baby sensory toys to primary school kids.

How do I choose the right sensory toy?

Start with smooth or soft sensory toys or mats designed to soothe anxiety and help kids feel calm and safe. Once they’re feeling settled, you can explore toys that encourage movement and focus – like sensory balls, blocks and cubes that build coordination and keep little hands and minds busy for hours. If looking to spark the senses, try glow blocks for visual play or reach for rattles and sound blocks for a gentle way to engage their hearing.
