Our five senses are pretty amazing! We had a wonderful week discussing how we learn and how we detect danger using our five senses. We talked about how silly it would be if our eyes could hear, our ears could taste or our hands could see (I personally could use that!). We created with play dough, played I-spy, did numerous experiments, sang and danced and read lots of book about our five senses. I could tell they were very engaged in this unit as they continually talked about their senses and identified them as they went about their preschool day.
Smelly jars...
sure are smelly!
Their faces were hysterical! I wish I could have caught them all on camera.
Measuring just the right amount,
Stirring so well,
and eating our delicious cookies for snacks. Before we indulged they identified the senses they were using which happened to be all five!
Making lots of music as we discussed our ears.
Did I mention we made lots of music?

The children use some sensory boards as we talked about our sense of touch. They figured out that elbows don't feel as well as fingers do.
The children got to wear some old glasses to see what it's like when you can't see very well. We sure are grateful for our sense of sight!
Super Thomas working on five senses cards. I don't think any of them made it into backpacks as the children created a game with them and then another game and another till the trash can was full.
The kiddos were so excited when they got to taste chocolate...
until they realized how yucky and bitter it was. Sorry if your children shun chocolate now. I made up for it by giving them a taste of salty chips, sweet gummy candies and
sour lemons. Camden actually ate his!
