This week, we still tackle about Five Senses and our focus senses are smelling and touching.
Fun fact: There are around 20 million neurons all the way up inside our nose in the area that detects the smell.
Smelling
Over time, children will recognize certain smells as comforting, yummy, scary, exciting, etc. Experiment with the scents and smells that the child recognizes and those that are more unfamiliar is one of the activities to test the sense of smell.
Fun fact: Some parts of the skin are more sensitive than others - this is because they have more receptor cells.
Touching
Children learn about their bodies and how to communicate with others through touch. Most of the feeling that we do happens through our feet and our hands. Taking part in activities where children feel with their feet and hands help them to learn how to write, button their shirts, tie their shoes, among others.
