Our Five Senses

This week we will be exploring our five senses- hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting and touching.
Crafts
Ears, Eyes, Nose, Hands, Tongue- we'll make a little body to show what parts we use for our five senses

Texture Collage- we'll use bits of different fabrics and papers to make a unique piece of art

Sensory Activities (there will be a lot given the theme!)
Five Senses sensory area- the exploration station will be full of fun activities to awaken our senses

Taste Test- we will try familiar foods with our eyes covered to see if we can guess what they are

I Spy- what better game for seeing what's around us

Sound Walk- we'll take a walk through the neighborhood and listen for all the different sounds of the city

Texture Rubbings- objects will be hiding under a piece of paper- we'll touch them to see if we can guess what they are and then we'll use a crayon to make a rubbing to check our guesses

Cooking
Baking- what better way to awaken our senses than to bake!  We'll use our eyes to measure, our nose to smell, our hands to touch, our tongues to taste and our ears to listen for the timer.
