What is a Sensory Path? A sensory path is a colorful, creative and playful way for kids to build sensory pathways, connections in the brain that are responsible for sight, touch, sound, etc., which enable kids to complete complex, multi-stage tasks. Sensory Paths encourage the child to use their muscles and be active doing a specific task until it is complete.
Teachers have been using Sensory Paths in the classroom for years and have found several benefits. One of the benefits is the focus of the children after they have completed one or two circuits. Special Needs teachers have found if a child is having a hard time focusing, doing even just one activity, say the bear crawl, can help bring focus to the child’s mind. Sensory Paths don’t only benefit kids in the classroom. Children all need to move their bodies and challenge themselves. These paths do that by using muscles all over the children’s bodies. These decals can be used all over. Use them in the gym for rainy days-use them in the hallways so many classes can enjoy them.
We have created our sensory paths include a variety of activities. Our paths include Hop Scotch, a Duck Walk, a Bear Crawl, a Frog Hop, a Balance Beam, a Push Up station and a variety of arrows and foot prints that can be used to create a specialized path just for your school or daycare. Each activity has an easy transition to the next.
We hope you enjoy using our sensory paths in your school and let us know how they are helping your children.
