Introduction Of The 5 Senses

[Guest]

I`m starting a new job next week in a nursery setting and the 1st topic is about the 5 senses.

I am bursting ideas and resources but i`m worried about how to introduce the topic to the children!

Can anyone help me please!

We use a popcorn maker to encourage sensory discrimination

 

it smells when cooking

you can watch it when it is coming out of the chute

you can hear it popping

you can touch it before and after cooking

 

most important

 

you can taste it at the end

 

for the real goody goodys - it is healthy

 

although i prefer mine to be covered in sweet sticky sauce

loads of ideas for builders tray Jelly baff, shaving foam, soap flakes, jelly cubes, ice cubes, sawdust, gloop all good for feeling. you can add scents aswell.
