All of our baby gifts come with FREE gift wrapping and include our luxury recycled gifts boxes. At The Baby Hamper Company we hate waste and love to use sustainable materials and products so why not recycle your Baby Hamper Company gift box as a Sensory box for your baby?
Most people don't know that babies are born with only a limited number of senses. In order to develop properly, they need to learn how to use these senses. You can help your little one's development by creating a sensory box for them to explore.
Our luxury gift boxes make the perfect base for a sensory box. They're sturdy and easy to clean, plus they look great! Plus, recycling is always a good thing.
You don't need to go out and buy special equipment for your sensory box. In fact, you probably already have most of what you need around the house.
Here's our easy guide on how to make an easy DIY baby sensory box -
Sensory boxes are used to teach children about the properties of objects, and is a great aid to helping promote early childhood development. Just gather items from around the house and garden (say 20 small items), nothing too small that they may choke on, and put them in the empty box. Present this to your child just a few times a week to keep it interesting and exciting, and you can regularly change and update what goes into the box. Then sit back and allow your child to play and explore, without interrupting or showing them what to do with the objects. The ideal age for these is from when your baby can sit up to around 18 months.
