A child comes into the world completely helpless, but in a short time develops and learns the world in all its manifestations: paint shapes, sounds. Why is it important sensory development of the child and what it affect?
sensory development - the development of perception and representation of the external properties of objects: color, shape, size, smell, taste, position in space. This is the foundation of general mental development of the child as a baby surrounded by various objects, properties and qualities which he must learn at an early age. The more a child learns, the richer will be the sensory experience and, therefore, the child will be easier to learn. Sensory development of the child Younger will serve a great service in student learning, in the perception of information, the ability to quickly match its actions with the task, so do not ignore it.
The child learns the world through the eyes because to learn the characteristics and properties of the object, the baby will be to touch, squeeze, smell and bite him. Therefore, the earlier a child begins to get acquainted with various subjects, topics will likely develop. That's what the need toys of different shapes, colors and textures, this opens up a new world of sensations to the child.
In total there are five sensory systems: hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste. The child needs to develop each sensory system, for this purpose there are special toys, games and exercises
Touch. Touch - a tactile sensitivity, sensation of touch, heat, cold, pain. For the development of this sensory system is necessary at an early age to acquaint the child with objects and materials of different structures. Toys should be plastic, rubber, wood, soft and so on. Make razvivashku with fabrics of different textures: burlap, wool, silk, velvet, corduroy, fur and Meet the crumbs with new sensations.

Vision. From 0 to 3 months, it is very important for the development of the child, since at this age it dominates over mobility. A child in three months are receptive bright bulky toys, and to half a year already studies to determine the distance to toys or other objects. At this age, the child's vision is limited and it is well sees and perceives an object at a distance of 20-30 cm from the eye. By about the year of the child vision develops very rapidly, it throws toys out of the arena, watching to see how the object disappears, possession of a new sensory experience.
The human face - a favorite object for observation crumbs, so often play with the baby, writhing variety of faces, copy the look on his face. By the way, it is proved that babies under one year are more receptive to not colorful toys, and contrasting black and white, therefore, experiment, learn the skills of the child tracking, moving the toy from one hand to the another. Children love to look at herself in the mirror so make sure to Developing rug the child had such an opportunity. Toys should not be too much, they do not need to bore the child, and to generate interest.
Hearing.The child is the development of the physical (the ability to perceive environmental sounds) and phonemic hearing (speech perception) and both of these areas are very important in a child's development. Ear develops from birth babble - one of the forms of speech hearing. For the hearing of a child can use toys, which create different sounds: rattles, Tweeters, plastic bottles with fillers (cereals).
Tell the child what sounds emit objects that surround it: the clock, vacuum cleaner, call the sound of water. Listen to music, nature sounds, and most importantly, how more and speak more often with a child: tell fairy tales, read poems, sing songs - it develops phonemic hearing, which in the future will help him speak.
The sense of smell and taste.From birth, the baby may be differentiated between different smells and tastes: bitter, sweet, sour and salty sense organs allow to know the properties of objects and learn about the world. To build and develop the sense of smell is necessary to introduce the baby with a variety of scents:
