Sensory play is an early childhood intervention strategy that is used frequently with young children who exhibit symptoms of sensory processing disorders and anxiety. It creates a safe and open-ended space to explore the senses and imagination through role-play and building language connections. Playing with different types of texture and objects help children build new ways of talking about the world. Listening to a story further builds upon language skills and provides opportunities to role-play social-emotional behaviors that are critical in relationship building and self-regulating their own emotions. Each MarliBox includes an age appropriate book and crafts that also encourage language development and social-emotional understanding of concepts such as self-compassion, anti-racism, mindfulness, kindness, and community.
