Teaching Children Joy: Body Part 4

 Teaching Children Joy: Body Part 4

Enjoying Senses

 "What is it?" Game

We got blind folded and tried to identify smells, taste, and objects.

Taste

 For our taste activity Fluttershy tried to identify:

Sugar

Salt

Grape juice

Peanut butter

She did great with peanut butter and salt, but for some reason she didn't identify sugar and the grape juice.

Touch

 I tried to use objects with interesting textures for our touch part of our activity.

We used:

Sandpaper

Cotton Ball

Elastic

Marble

Popsicle stick

Yarn 

Smooth stone

 Smell

 We tried the above items.  I was surprised that she identified all but cinnamon.  (Which I'm not sure she's smelled before, but I thought it was a nice smell)

Identify sounds

I found a couple of fun sited to have my kiddos try to identify sounds.  The first one was at
