Sensory Toys
As well as specialist equipment and respite breaks, Crackerjacks also provides Sensory Toys.
Sensory Toys are designed to simulate the five senses - sight, sound, touch smell and taste. They help children nurture their senses and help develop gross and fine motor skills. Sensory play enhances the way a child reacts with their environment. Sensory Toys provide sensory stimulation and a calming affect 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 to 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.
