Sensory play is an important part of early childhood development, as it provides opportunities for children to explore their world through their senses of touch, smell, taste, sight and hearing. Sensory play aids brain development.

The egg shaker stimulates the sense of touch, sight and hearing in infants. The raw feel of the shakers helps the baby to perceive the sense of touch while the sound it makes, stimulates his/her sense of hearing. The ovoid shape of the shaker lets it roll which helps in improving the tracking skills of the baby.
