You\u2019ll see that it\u2019s easy to teach the senses through fun observations. Additionally, research shows that sensory play is a very important part of early childhood learning because it helps children remember and understand new information better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some fun activities you can do at home or at school for each sense:<\/span><\/p><p><b>Sight\u00a0<\/b><\/p><ul><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Play a game of I Spy in different indoor and outdoor settings<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Use a magnifying glass to observe interesting objects, or reexamine everyday objects at home like coins and buttons<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Create a small frame, from popsicle sticks or other arts and crafts materials, and use it to try to capture live \u201cphotos\u201d of the things around you<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Touch<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Make a Mystery Box by cutting a hole into the side of a shoebox, and have the child guess what the different mystery objects are that you place inside\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Play a game of Opposites, where the child holds an object and describes how it feels, then have them search for an object around the house that has the opposite texture<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Taste<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; To expand children\u2019s palates, have them taste unfamiliar spices or herbs in new dishes, and describe what they are tasting out loud<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; When eating their favorite dishes, have them describe what they love about the taste, and use it as an opportunity to teach them new taste words like \u201csavory.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Smell<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Use something fragrant to see if the child can identify the ingredients or elements while closing their eyes and only using their sense of smell<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Infuse scents into other fun arts and crafts activities, such as making scratch-n-sniff stickers or candles<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><b>Hearing<\/b><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Do a mindful listening activity by sitting still and taking in sounds, while listening to music or simply being outside<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Have children record everyday animal sounds, either as digital audio clips on a device or as written observations in a notebook, to pique their interest in animal behavior<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One last tip: to tie in new vocabulary a child is learning in a second language, have them practice saying that word out loud.
