A sensory toy is a type of toy designed to stimulate the senses, including touch, sight, sound, and sometimes smell. These toys are often used to help individuals, particularly children with sensory processing disorders or autism, engage with their environment in a calming and enjoyable way. Common examples include fidget spinners, textured balls, and squeeze toys. Sensory toys can also promote fine motor skills and improve focus by providing tactile feedback. They are often colorful and interactive, making them appealing to a wide range of users. Many parents and educators incorporate sensory toys into playtime or learning activities to support sensory development and emotional regulation.
