How Your Child's Sensory System Develops

In general, it refers to the maturing of the five familiar senses: hearing, smell, taste, touch, and vision. It also involves the way your baby or child’s nervous system receives input from these senses and then forms an appropriate motor or behavioral response. Quiet books, also known as busy books, are fantastic examples of educational Montessori toys. These interactive books are crafted to support self-directed learning, a cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy.
