November is all about the five senses. How do babies benefit you may ask? Infants can use sensory exploration to demonstrate a growing interest in the environment in order to gain information. Simply put, the more infants explore their surroundings though touch, sight, smell, sound and taste the more they learn. This is why teachers place different things around classrooms to attract infants' interest; they use music or other sensory activities, verbally engage infants during routines, show infants how objects work and provide safe spaces to explore that involve touch. What may look like simple play and routine is actually a pathway to learning.
