S is for Senses. . . the sense of touch

This is a continuation for our lesson on the 5 senses focusing on the sense of Touch.

Letter: S

Number: 5

Purpose: To focus on the sense of touch, and why it is so important.

 

We went over the five senses again with Mr. Potato Head and watching the Dr. Binoc's video again.  

We then went into detail about the sense of touch. Hot/Cold, Wet Dry, Rough/Smooth, Sticky/Slick etc.
I found this old video of Jiminy Cricket teaching us about the sense of touch, that I thought did a great job explaining what the sense of touch is.

For the craft we traced our hands, and glued different textures to the finger tips. I used cotton lining, a puffy sticker, sand paper, a penny, and a noodle on mine, but you can honestly use anything.

 

For the activity we played with playdough. 

This lesson was pretty simple, but Peyton loved the hand he made!
