I am a firm believer in learning through play. Young children learn best from hands-on, explorative, and inquisitive experiences. Hands & Hearts Sensory Play was created to help young children develop fine motor skills and improve muscle tone in their hands through motions like rolling, pinching, and grasping. Many of my products include interactive books that help build on skills like sorting/matching, following directions, cutting, coloring, and improve dexterity with stickers and other manipulatives. Sensory experiences with various materials expose children to different textures, and also provide opportunities for open-ended imaginative play, helping children to be more creative, independent, and explorative.
