We use our senses every day.
In the first several years of life, children learn about the world primarily through their five senses. Sight, sound, touch, taste and smell allow them to explore their environment, experience new things, and make discoveries. Hands-on, interactive learning activities are highly effective for teaching elementary age children and can be used to alert them to their five senses. Children can be taught to recognize how critical their senses are to their everyday lives and can be encouraged to actively use their senses to learn new things.
