Sensory

Sensory means that you are doing activity with your baby that allows her to use  more than one of  her senses at once. Water play is a sensory activity, your baby is using her eyes and feelings. She is seeing the water and she is touching  the water. When she gets a bath that is what is happening. When your baby finger paints this is also a sensory activity. As your infant gets older  you will notice that she loves to play with water. When you give her a bath allow her to play for a while. You should not give your baby a bath when you are in a rush. Add some toys to her tub. You want to have a happy baby . Allow her to play for a while and when you are ready to end the bath you must explain to her
 " Judy it is time to end your bath let's say good by to your toys". You should keep the same toys in the tub. This way your baby will not begin screaming. Saying good by to the bath is teaching your baby how to  manage transitions without getting a tantrum. This needs practice so your baby will cry a few times but after several practice she will understand that she does not have to cry because she has another activity to do. After her bath she has to get dressed.
This is a skill that is needed when your  baby gets to school.
