children to explore the world they live in! Sensory play supports language
development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving
skills, and social interaction.

GROSS MOTOR ACTIVITIES:

A motor skill is simply an action that involves your baby using his
muscles. Gross motor skills are larger movements your baby makes with
his arms, legs, feet, or his entire body. So crawling, running, and jumping
are gross motor skills. Fine motor skills are smaller actions.
