5 Senses - Sight & Hearing

Hey everyone -
This week we've started a 2-week exploration into the 5 senses here at Monarch Kids Preschool. This is one of my favorite topics to use with kids this age - there is SO much you can do!

Yesterday, we started with the sense of sight and hearing. Here are some activities we did:
*Human Sounds - I recorded different sounds on my tape recorder and had the kids guess what the sounds were
*Sound Jars - 8 jars were covered and filled with different objects (rocks, pennies, rice, pasta) and the kids had to guess what was in the jar and then also find the matching jar
*It's a Tie - I put out 5 ties and had the kids make observations about the ties - then when their heads were turned I took a tie away and had the kids guess which one was missing
*Body Parts Collage - the kids glued cut-out pictures of ears, mouths, noses, hands and eyes to make a collage
*Many more activities and crafts...
(Many of these activities/crafts/games are found in The Mailbox or websites I've found on the internet)

Tomorrow we're looking at the sense of taste and touch - should be a lot of fun!

Take care -
Kendall Stark
