Robert McClosky's book "Lentil" also gave us a great incentive to learn about the 5 senses.
We did a number of hands-on activities:
 |
| Here, The Girl tasted the four main food groups: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. We used ice cream, sea salt, lemon juice, and coffee. |
 |
| The Girl was blindfolded and got a taste of what it would be like to be blind. I made a bunch of mystery sounds (jingling car keys, shutting a door, flushing the toilet, snapping my fingers, crumpling paper, etc.) and had her guess what they were. We also headed outside and made a list of things we could hear. |
 |
| After
focusing on what we could hear when she was blindfolded, we learned
about how the ear works. The Girl made a model of the eardrum, watching
rice jump of plastic wrap when it vibrates just like how the ear drum
vibrates! |
We watched:
I found us a few videos and illustrations about how the inner ear works.
