Tot School: Five Senses

Today at Tot School we learned about our 5 senses: sight, taste, touch, hearing, & smell. We read a book about how our eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and fingers help us use our senses.

HEAR: We sang and did hand motions to "Head & Shoulders" and "5 Senses", and shook our music shakers to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "I Know a Chicken".  We played Simon Says and the kids identified the body parts we use for our senses.

FEEL: For arts & crafts we made a texture collage. It was fun squeezing out the glue and feeling the different textures of the materials.

 SEE: We looked through binoculars and decorated our own silly goggles. The kids looked so cute-like little superheroes!

SMELL: The highlight of the day was playing with jello (orange and lime) scented play dough.  A couple of kids tried to eat it because it smelled so delicious!  Here is the link for the recipe if you want to try it at home: http://childstoryhour.com/recipeclay9.htm

"I'm making a cake"

TASTE: We quickly moved on to a more edible snack...popcorn, grapes, and lemonade.  We learned that popcorn can be experienced using all five of our senses.
