What a great list, I particularly love the spice rack one. I have similar list started to share about a sensory morning which we used to have with the toddlers at my child care centre which includes quite a few other sensory play ideas too. These types of experiences are so important for baby’ toddler and preschooler learning.

Deb February 9, 2010 at 9:47 pm: Absolutely! Smell and taste always seem to be the forgotten ones, then as a Secondary teacher I found the rest disappeared too until sight is the only one we think about. If you say “observe” to a group of teenagers or adults they usually think you mean look, but there is so much more that can be learnt using our other senses as well.

I agree with Christie. Great list. I love the herb garden suggestion. As long as you are careful with what you plant, young kids can have a wonderful time touching, smelling and even tasting a range of herbs.
