Sensory Toys
Crackerjacks also provide sensory toys, specialist equipment, and respite breaks.
Sensory Toys are designed to simulate the five senses—sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. They help children nurture their senses and develop gross and fine motor skills. Sensory play enhances a child's reaction to their environment. Sensory Toys provide sensory stimulation and a calming effect for children with a variety of additional needs.
For some children, sensory play allows them to retrain their brain's response to sensory information. This can help them cope with dealing with different sounds, lights, tastes, and textures. Sensory play can also help them regulate their emotions.
Play is a very important part of every child's development.
