Sensory: Five Senses

Today we'll explore five senses. Read the short facts aloud together first. Point to pictures in the room or out the window that match the idea. Curiosity matters more than memorization — if your child asks a question you can't answer, that's a perfect moment to say, 'Let's find out together.'
