Sensational Senses

I'm so sorry that this post didn't get completely published. I'm not exactly sure what happened so let's hope these pictures post correctly this time.

Our fun week of learning through our senses was filled with the wonder and awe as we focused on each individual sense for a bit.

Smelly playdough- I almost tried edible play dough (one more sense for them) but thought that was a bad precedence to set. The kool-aide play dough was yummy smelling enough for our creators.
Testing out their sense of smell- some delicious and some seriously yucky ones.
Learning all about sound waves and how we hear with this simple yet completely engrossing activity of putting rubber bands on cookie sheets to make music.
These fun puppets reminded us of how grateful we are for our senses.
Touching, feeling, investigating with our fingers.
Oh what do you see. Charlie is seeing a very blurry world through the some of my old lenses.
Just for fun!
What if we only saw one color?
Using our sense of touch in the sensory bin.
Lastly, the classic fingerprinting. We ended this unit with using all of our senses to hear the hum of the oven then the ding when the timer went off; to smell the heavy scent of ginger and cinnamon; to see the round shape on the tray; to feel their warmth in little hands and to finally to taste the chewy gingerbread cookies. Doesn't get better than that!
