The five senses

Science

• The child has learned about the five senses - sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch.
• They have explored how the senses help them perceive the world around them.
• They have engaged in activities that involve using each of their senses, such as identifying various scents, tasting different foods, listening to different sounds, and feeling different textures.
• They have developed an understanding of how the senses work together to provide information about their surroundings.

After completing the activity, encourage continued development by creating a sensory exploration kit with various items and objects to engage all five senses. Encourage the child to use their senses to describe and identify different objects or experiences. Additionally, incorporate outdoor nature walks or visits to sensory gardens to further enhance their understanding of the five senses in real-life settings.
