Materials:

• Sandpaper
• Crayons
• Cinnamon Sticks

Directions:

• Cut out gingerbread men sandpaper and give them to your children. Allow them to decorate their Gingerbread man with crayons, and cinnamon sticks. The children will be able to smell and taste the cinnamon, feel the sandpaper, hear the scratching (of cinnamon and sandpaper), and finally see their gingerbread people

Bring two foods that look similar but taste very different (orange and lemon, sugar and salt, yogurt and sour cream, etc.) Put them in plates next to each other. Let your children use their 5 senses to try to determine which is which. Asked the children to describe how the substances smell, feel, look, sound (as you gently shake the plate) and finally taste.

Oh, with your tongue what do you taste?
Oh, with your tongue what do you taste?
Oh, tell me what do you taste with your tongue? (let children answer)
Oh, with your tongue what do you taste? There are five senses we all have;
can you guess what they are?
See, hear, taste, touch, and smell (point to each corresponding body part as you say them)
See, hear, taste, touch, and smell
See, hear, taste, touch, and smell

Bring in items that taste salty, sour, sweet, and bitter and let your children taste and discuss them.
