Sensory Path Benefits

Children can hop, jump, balance, twirl or dance their way through the sensory path. The sensory path encourages children to think and play using their imagination. Each time down a sensory path is a new Adventure. Children can play on their own or with others.

Children’s anxiety and stress can increase during long periods in a classroom. This leads to diminished concentration, poor behaviour; and sometimes acting out in class. A short break on a sensory path releases excessive energy levels and can calm an anxious child. The multi-activity sensory path and the physical movements help children to relax and return to class better enabled them to focus on learning. 

Sensory paths are a great way for children to improve their reading and comprehension. Our Paths include action words, short phrases, the alphabet and numbered activities. Pairing educational material with images helps children retain what they are reading and seeing while navigating the sensory path.

Over-sized characters with bright colours help children learn the names of people, animals, places and things in the related surroundings.  The sensory path provides visual learning and reinforces words, phrases, and numbers. This helps children remember and recall the names of these elements after playing on the sensory path.

Sensory paths can be designed to be used by feet only. Depending on the length of the path, kids can maintain social distancing while several children use the path.  Children get the benefit of interacting with other children but at a safe distance.
