We don’t send our children to school the moment they are born, but at this moment, they take the first steps of their education, using their senses to decipher the world around them. As the child grows, it’s important that they continue to engage their senses, as sensory play has many developmental benefits and can help them lay the foundation to become lifelong learners. At AAA State of Play, we’re proud to carry a wide range of affordable products that allow children to explore the world in many ways, both through physical play such as climbing or sliding and through stationary, hands-on play with sensory walls.
Nurturing Learning Through Play
Providing an environment that fosters the development of gross motor skills is simple. As a child’s body grows and develops, they will steadily practice these larger movements. Infants kick and wave in the air, gaining muscle strength and testing their limitations of movement. Gross motor skills rapidly increase once a child starts to stand: As infants become toddlers, they begin to explore the world in a new way. At this point, sensory wall panels can start to draw children’s attention. By exploring different textures, sights, sounds, and movements, a child can learn how to process and understand the information their senses take in, a process that helps to build connections in the brain that contribute to learning and creativity. Sensory walls can also help children develop fine motor skills such as grasping, pinching, or button-pushing.
One Playground, Many Ways to Learn
At AAA State of Play, we offer affordable playground equipment that enhances development at all stages of a child’s life. Our commercial playground equipment for children 6-23 months of age includes indoor and outdoor climbers with sensory walls and creative play shelters. A wide array of colors, shapes, and textures on sensory wall panels allow young toddlers to explore their world in a safe environment. Our playground equipment for preschool-aged children continues the theme of vibrant colors and a variety of stimulation for the senses. But even in older children, sensory wall panels can be valuable parts of a play space, providing another type of fun and a bit of a physical break after running, jumping, climbing, or swinging.
