Feel that Slime
Let your children experience the sense of feel with slime! It is simple to make
simply add glue with cornstarch and stir well. You may have to add a bit of
one of the ingredient to get the right consistency (to sticky add more cornstarch)
but the children will love it. To keep it from getting to sticky store it in
the refrigerator.
Alternatively you can make less sticky slime with cornstarch and water (add more cornstarch if its too thin, more water if its too thick)
Let them See
- Make binoculaars or telescopes out of toilet paper and paper towel rolls .
- Make glasses out of pipe cleaners.
- Have children spy/match same color materials on to matching construction paper
Hear that Music
Let your children see how many different kinds of music there are. Play it
for them and let them act our the part (for country wear cowboy hats, for
80's big hair, etc.)
Smelling Scents
Put different scents (peppermint, garlic, strawberry, lemon, vanilla, etc) on
several cotton balls and place then in separate plastic containers with tops.
Have children guess what they are.
Tasty Plates
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.
