Sensory Activities for Families


On Track for Kindergarten - An OberlinKids Program

Children use their senses to understand the world around them. This behavior starts at birth. Providing a variety of experiences for your child to explore helps to stimulate their curiosity, problem solving, fine motor, gross motor, communication, and social-emotional skills and encourages them to explore.
