The introduction of the 5 senses to our children is very important because it shapes children’s brain growth and development. This includes their 5 senses which are hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell. There are a few important things for introducing the 5 senses to our children.
1. Sense of Hearing
They can play listening games to practice their skills to see how good he/she listen to instructions
Babies also can hear since in the womb. They use their ears to take information about things around them. They can get important information from family members, teachers, friends, and coaches by developing good listening habits.
2. Sense of Sight
Gazing into your baby’s eyes are key to bonding and help build healthy relationships in the future
They can practice early literacy skills by playing games that involve sight. It helps children recognize words, patterns, objects and help them develop their memory! To practicing their early literacy skills, click here.
3. Sense of Smell
Smell and taste senses stay strong—you will know it when a toddler doesn’t like something!
The introduction of the 5 senses to our children can be introduced by doing an experiment with the scents and smells that the child recognizes and those that are more unfamiliar. Using this method, children will recognize certain smells such as comforting, delicious, exciting, scary, and many more.
4. Sense of Touch
Ask the child questions about what he/she is feeling: What does it feel like? Do you like the way it feels?
Children learn about their bodies and how to communicate with others through touch. Most of the feelings that we do happen through our feet and our hands. Taking part in activities where children feel with their feet and hands help them to learn how to write, button their shirts, tie their shoes, among others.
5. Sense of Taste
Try new activities such as make a salad, identifying food and try a taste test game with your children
Taste preferences are based on what they are fed when they are in the early years. By helping them to think about which tastes they do and do not prefer, can encourage them to try new things or new food combinations.
