Sensory box with natural materials

Make your little one a sensory box with various natural materials you can find around - the baby will surely like to play with it and view the things hidden inside!

Playing with natural materials will help your baby to learn various textures, shapes, explore the world around. It is beneficial for sensory development and fine motor skills.

You'll need:


  • plastic container with low boards;
  • smooth stones;
  • cones;
  • smooth short sticks;
  • grass (in winter you can purchase it at a pet store), etc.

Put all the materials to the container. 

Lay your little one on tummy, putting a rolled towel under his/her chest - thus the baby will manage to manipulate with both hands.

Give the container to your baby and let him/her explore it and the things hidden inside.

All the materials should be safety, so that the baby couldn't hurt himself or get a splinter. Playing with the sensory box must be arranged under your supervision.

Make photos of the process, upload to the App. Write briefly about the experience and your baby's impressions.
