Sensory Book (Fruit and Animals Theme)

I made this book as a sensory play for young children to develop and increase memory function. It is a great way for calming an anxious or frustrated child. It also triggers a child’s interest and ability in completing more complex learning tasks. The theme in this crochet book is an important part of learning how to identify different kind of fruit and animals.

The area I am developing through this activity is to help children learn vital important sensory attributes (rough, soft), and to supports cognitive growth, motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
