Detailed explanation-1: -Touch is the first of our senses to develop, providing us with the sensory scaffold on which we come to perceive our own bodies and our sense of self. Touch also provides us with direct access to the external world of physical objects, via haptic exploration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Smell. The brain’s olfactory (smell) center forms very early in fetal development. Studies have found that newborns have a keen sense of smell. Within the first few days they will show a preference for the smell of their own mother, especially to her breast milk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sensations begin as signals generated by touch receptors in your skin. They travel along sensory nerves made up of bundled fibers that connect to neurons in the spinal cord. Then signals move to the thalamus, which relays information to the rest of the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sight comes first, because the eye is such a specialized organ. Then come hearing, touch, smell, and taste, progressively less specialized senses.

Detailed explanation-5: -What is Sensory Development? Sensory development refers to our five senses which allows us to explore the world around us-sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. During their early childhood years, children are most attracted to activities that engage their senses, such as sensory play and texture crates.
