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.

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.
