This week our theme is the 5 senses! Our 5 senses are touch, sound, sight, smell and taste. Here are some activities to try for each sense!
Sense of Touch Finger painting is a great sensory activity that involves the sense of touch. You could even add some different textures to your paint (salt, sand, seeds, spices, etc), make edible finger paints (https://thesavvysparrow.com/edible-finger-paint-rainy-day-activity/) or use different surfaces to finger paint on! These are just a few examples, let me know what you try! Senses of Sound and Taste Loud and Quiet Snack Sort There are a couple ways to play the loud and quiet snack sort. 1. When your child isn't watching you take some easter eggs and fill them with different snacks (examples: cereal, raisins, little marshmallows, dried fruit, fruit snacks, pretzels, little carrots, small cubes of cheese). Have your child shake the each egg and decide if it makes a loud or quiet noise and sort it into the proper category. A link in the email has a quiet/loud sorting activity you can use to help them sort of you can write quiet and loud on different pieces of paper to help them sort. After they have sorted loud and quiet they can guess what is inside the eggs and open them up for a snack. 2. Another way to play is to put all the snacks on a plate and let them bite into each one. Ask your child as they try each snack is it a loud or quiet snack? Does it make a lot of noise when they bite into it or chew it (like a carrot) or is it quiet (like a marshmallow)? During the activity, you can also discuss with you child what the snacks taste like!
Sound Listening Activity with visuals. Sound Listening Activity with no visuals.
Sense of Smell and Sight For the sense of smell, you could make you own smell swatches or cups from different things around the house. For the sense of sight, you could make and decorate a pair of binoculars using toilet paper rolls and see what you can spy in you home. You could go on a nature walk and see how many different things you can see and smell outside! 5 Senses Activities from our Speech Pathologist Mrs. Berman THE 5 SENSES: Read-a-longs and FUN videos!
