EASY 5 SENSES ACTIVITIES FOR PRESCHOOLERS!

My 5 Senses Book

These 5 senses activities were sparked by this simple 5 Senses book I found at a local thrift store. I adore these Let’s-Read -And- Find -Out science books.

I chose to set up a science discovery table with simple science activities that make use of each of the 5 senses. I combined different elements from around the house to set up our 5 senses invitation.

What are the 5 senses? The 5 senses activities explore the senses of taste, touch, sight, sound, and smell.

DISCOVERY LEARNING THROUGH 5 SENSES

First, we sat and read the book together. We talked about everything around us. We talked about what we could and could not touch.

We also talked about how you can see something and not hear it. We thought of times we used more than one sense.

Creating curiosity, building observation skills, and increasing vocabulary through discovery!

Help your child to explore and wonder by asking simple open-ended questions. If your child is having difficulty with the materials below, model a way to use it, feel it, or smell it. Offer a turn, allow some time for your child to become familiar with the ideas and items, and then ask a few questions to get them thinking.
