Sensory and motor development is the gradual process by which a child gains use and coordination of the large muscles of the legs, trunk, and arms, and the smaller muscles of the hands. A baby begins to experience new awareness through sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.We receive sensory information from our bodies and the environment through our sensory systems (vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, vestibular, and proprioception).Motor development skills are those that involve the large muscles, running skipping, jumping, throwing, and catching.

-Move objects from one hand to the other.
-Drop and pick up toys.
-Bang two objects together.
