Five Senses for Five for Friday!

It's time for Doodle Bugs Teaching's weekly linky party!

 

This week we learned about our five senses.  We started the week by putting together a Mr. Potato Head five senses project.  We discussed what body part was used for each sense as the little darlings assembled their projects.  Afterwards, we helped them label what each body part is used for. 

 

 

We used our sense of touch and played with shaving cream.

 

We also made scented play dough so that we could explore our sense of smell and touch.  If you'd like the recipe, click here.

 

On Wednesday, we joined up with Ms. Lola's class to test our sense of smell.  We had seven scents for the little cuties to smell and then asked them to identify the scent. 

 

With the afternoon class, we had them find the baggie with the same scent they had.  It was so much fun seeing them work together to find their partner!

We ended the week with a Five Senses Sorting worksheet.  The little darlings surprised me with how well they could identify which sense was used for each picture. 

Then, we teamed up with Ms. Lola's class to make a five senses person.  We put bells on the ears for hearing, essential oil on a cotton ball nose for smelling, licorice mouth for tasting, wiggle eyes for seeing, and sandpaper and/or textured wallpaper hands for touching.  

 

And, as our final activity, we had a taste testing!  We tried dill pickles, garlic cheese bread potato chips, radishes, Hot Tamales, Sour Patch Kids, icing, and licorice. 

 

This little cutie had a birthday this week and brought in Minion cupcakes to celebrate!  They were a big hit!

 

As you can see, it was a "Sense-ational" week!  Please forgive me for the lame pun, but I couldn't resist!  It really was a fun week! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
