Journey into Sensory Discovery: Enhancing Childhood Exploration with Sensory Books
Read nowHave you ever wondered why children put everything in their mouths? We have, too. Why would they pick up EVERYTHING and put it in their mouth, of all places?
Well, we did some digging and discovered that this seemingly peculiar behaviour is actually not so strange. In fact, did you know that it's part of a developmental stage known as the oral sensory phase? Apparently, children learn about texture, taste, temperature, and hardness by exploring objects with their hands, and mouths.
Indeed, infants and young children primarily discover their world through all of their senses. And we've got something to introduce to them that's a lot more fun and safe than random mouthfuls. It's designed to stimulate their senses and enhance their learning.
Enter Books2Door's Sensory Books Collection, your premier destination for selecting sensory books for your children! Explore our carefully curated collection of sensory books thoughtfully designed to support your children's development and learning. Plus, discover why these books should be a staple on their bookshelves.
