Sensory Stimulation Kit – Do It Yourself!

Sensory Stimulation is defined as the impact the environment has on our minds as we receive external information through our senses. Infants need to be stimulated from early age to help foster early brain development.

The bulk of research confirms that infants who are stimulated achieve higher IQ scores as adults, than those who lack proper stimulation.

You can easily and safely stimulate your child by creating your Sensory Stimulation Kit.

Visual: For the best stimulation use mobiles. They should be hung about twelve inches from the infants eyes and could include the upper half of a face, bold patterns, or an unbreakable mirror. Change visual orientation by repositioning the infant in the crib or by various holding positions.

Auditory: Talking, reading, singing and humming are great ways to vary and enrich the auditory stimulation of an infant. These are especially good strategies for diaper changing, bathing, and playtime.

Tactile: Tactile stimulation is one of the most important ways to communicate to an infant. It is essential that an infant feels secure and develops a basic sense of trust. Playful touching and massaging will convey tenderness, security, and attention. As parts of the body are touched or stroked, the infant develops a sense of body awareness which will be essential in babyhood and toddlerhood.

Olfatory Stimulation: Pleasant scents or aromas can be provided by either holding the bottle below the nose or spraying a mist nearby. Many lotions and massage oils have pleasant aromas that they can smell as the hands and arms are massaged.

You can easily purchase these products at your local store and make your own sensory stimulation kit. Be sure to also pickup a copy of a sensory techniques book to deliver best stimulation.

Another great option is to purchase a sensory stimulation kit online as these include all the materials necessary and come with useful guides on exercises.
