ReplyDeleteYour five senses — seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, and touching — help you notice the world around you. They’re
pretty powerful! You use your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your nose to smell, your tongue to taste, and your skin
to feel.
You’re going to explore how your senses work, and what kinds of information they tell you. You’ll be working with a
partner at each station. Be sure to keep track of what you notice on your record sheet!
• Seeing Station: Look at the pictures in the first column. Then look at the pictures in the second column. Are
they the same? If not, what’s different?
• Hearing Station: There are five different sealed containers. One holds a marble, one holds a paper clip, one
holds some rice, one holds water, and one holds some sand. Shake each container. What do you hear? Can you
tell what is in each container?
• Smell Station: There are 4 containers, each with something inside. What do you smell? Does the smell remind
you of something? Can you tell what is in each container?
• Taste Station: There are 3 samples to taste (you might know what they are). How would you describe the taste
of each sample? Is it sweet? Salty? Bitter? Sour?
• Touch Station: There are 4 “mystery” bags. Close your eyes and put your hand in each bag. What do you feel?
What do you think is in each bag? (Don’t worry — there’s nothing that can hurt you in the bag!)
The sensory organs are the gateways to various experiences which help to acquire knowledge and skills. The ways suggested in space4u are really interesting and will definitely help children to sharpen their senses. Registration of various senses are of paramount importance. A careful and safe provision of experiences for registration will equip kids for lifetime.

ReplyDeleteStory telling with teaching aids during these crucial years will be helpful for all round Development. This period remains as one of the most important period throughout a child's period as their neurons is developing at a faster pace, which will led them to learn new things even faster than adults. Parents also must be concerned during these years towards their child as their brains will be more towards learning, they must be given active care and provide profitable teaching to them. The period will lay foundation on how the child will learn and achieve new things.

ReplyDeleteAs sensory organs are the gateways of learning and in foundationaI years the activities through these various senses help in building strong neural connections and thus have a lifelong impact.We can devise various activities for various sensory organs which can be beneficial for the child's learning in anganwadi or preschool.
ReplyDelete1.Activity for sense of sight:We can ask children to observe various colours and then try to find out the objects around them having those colours.This will help children to develop power of observation and colour concept.
2.Activity for sense of hearing (Ears):We can blindfold the child and ask other children one by one to ask him various questions about him(the blindfolded child).This will develop the power of recognition through voice and also language development as blindfolded child would keenly listen to the other children and listening sense would be developed.
3.Activity for smelling sense:We can again blindfold the child and provide various eatables to him to smell at and guess the food item.
4.Sense of Taste:We can bring variety of things and let children taste them one by one to give them the concept of sour,sweet,bitter,salty,spicy tastes and so on.
5Activity for sense of touch:we can bring soft and hard things and let children touch them,hold them and so on.This will not only develope their fine motor muscles,but also give them concept of hard and soft.Similarily tracing letters on sand will help them to learn writting by involving sense of touch
1. Eyes (Sight) - Instruct the children to close their eye for 10 seconds and open them. Repeat this activity 4 times. Then pose questions like, How did you feel before and after you closed your eyes? Based on their responses, the instructor will impart the importance of eyesight, why we must take good care of our eyes and learn to be patient and empathetic to those who have weak or lost their eyesight.
ReplyDelete2. Ears (Hearing) - Play a song/music for 1-2 minutes and then Instruct the children to close their ears for another 1-2 minutes. After the children have opened their ears, pose questions like, How did you feel when you closed your ears and after you opened your ears?, Which one do you feel more comfortable? These questions should be raised to the children to help them understand that the loss of hearing can make them feel helpless which can also result in frustration. Here, the instructors’ role will be to emphasise on the importance of hearing and understanding those who are not able to.
3. Nose (Smell) - The caregiver will present various articles with different scents like coffee, perfume, sanitizer, etc) and ask the children to smell the items one after the other. This activity will help the children to understand the concept of varied scents and how important of a role our nose plays in detecting these various smells.
4. Mouth/Tongue (Taste) - The caregiver will present four food items with distinct taste like sugar, salt, water and lemon. He/She will let the students taste them one by one in order to help them know the difference and identify it on the basis of taste.
5. Touch - The caregiver will provide ice cube(s) and a hot water bag wherein the children will touch the two and identify the difference between hot and cold. Here, he/she can also further ask the children to provide more examples where one can feel cold and the other, hot.
Kids in anganwadi are best placed to explore the environs using their sensory organs and in turn become more sensitive to their surrounding.
ReplyDeleteFrom birth through to early childhood, children use their senses to explore and try to make sense of the world around them. They do this by touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, moving and hearing.
ReplyDeleteChildren and even adults learn best and retain the most information when they engage their senses. Many of our favorite memories are associated with one or more of our senses: for instance, the smell of a summer night campfire or a song you memorized the lyrics to with a childhood friend. Now, when your nostrils and eardrums are stimulated with those familiar smells and sounds respectively, your brain triggers a flashback memory to those special times.
Providing opportunities for children to actively use their senses as they explore their world through ‘sensory play’ is crucial to brain development – it helps to build nerve connections in the brain’s pathways.
This leads to a child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks and supports cognitive growth, language development, gross motor skills, social interaction and problem solving skills.
We often talk about the five senses. These are:
Taste – the stimulation that comes when our taste receptors react to chemicals in our mouth.
Touch – the stimulation that comes from touch receptors in our skin that react to pressure, heat/cold, or vibration.
Smell – the stimulation of chemical receptors in the upper airways (nose).
Sight – the stimulation of light receptors in our eyes, which our brains then interpret into visual images.
Hearing – the reception of sound, via mechanics in our inner ear.
However there are two others we commonly miss:
Body awareness (also known as proprioception) – the feedback our brains receive from stretch receptors in our muscles and pressure receptors in joints which enable us to gain a sense where our bodies are in space.
Balance – the stimulation of the vestibular system of the inner ear to tell us our body position in relation to gravity.
So, what is sensory play?
Sensory play includes any activity that stimulates your young child’s senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing.
Sensory activities facilitate exploration and naturally encourage children to use scientific processes while they play, create, investigate and explore. The sensory activities allow children to refine their thresholds for different sensory information helping their brain to create stronger connections to process and respond to sensory information.
For example, initially a child may find it difficult to play appropriately with a peer when there are other things going on in the environment with conflicting noise. However, through sensory play exploring sounds and tasks a child learns to adapt to being able to block out the noise which is not important and focus on the play which is occurring with their peer.
Another example is a child who is particularly fussy with eating foods with a wet texture such as spaghetti, the use of sensory play can assist the child in touching, smelling and playing with the texture in an environment with little expectation.
As the child develops trust and understanding of this texture it helps build positive pathways in the brain to say it is safe to engage with this food. Sensory play literally helps shape what children to believe to be positive and safe in the brain. Ultimately, shaping the choices children make and impacting behavior.
Here are 5 reasons why sensory play is beneficial:
Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.
Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.
This type of play aids in developing and enhancing memory
Sensory play is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child
This helps children learn sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry)

ReplyDeleteThese activities empower young children to explore more from their environment
ReplyDelete90 percent of child's brain has been done till 5 yrs of age. And home environment plays an important part in child's life. A calm and happy environment helps in positive development. But negative environment, where there is no peace and quarrelsome environment, the child will remain scared every time. It will stop the child for further development. So sensory activities and experiences which are positive will help the child. So the parents should also be educated about these things.

Activities related to senses helps a child to become mentally strong
ReplyDeletePre-school age is very crucial period..Intigrated developments will happen in this age(3-6)..i.e physical,social, emotional, cognitive, creative, language developments...Nuron system development 90% in this age..so ANGANWADI s,pre school s.. must should be stimulation of children in this period..
ReplyDeleteThink about sensory activities and experiences for each sensory organ. Share how these sensory activities are beneficial for the young children in the Anganwadi.
ReplyDeleteReflection:-
There could be infinite sensory
activities and experiences for each sensory organ. Anyone, can use these activities for the holistic development of pre-schoolers i.e., children aging from 0- 05 years of age.
For example, drawing outlining of rainbow and asking kids to colour them with seven different colurs could boost one of the prominent sensory organ i.e., eye.
With this activity a child could exercise and boost the eye and its related system by coming across the different shades of colours and differentiate between them and at the same time he/she will learn about the natural phenomenon appearance of Rainbow.
However, parents and teachers should customize the activities depending upon the learning needs of the children

Sensory activities play a crucial role in the development of young children, as they stimulate their senses and promote cognitive, physical, and emotional growth. Here are some sensory activities for each sensory organ that can be beneficial for children in an Anganwadi:
ReplyDelete1. Visual (Sight):
- Flashcards: Using colorful flashcards with images of animals, objects, or shapes can enhance visual perception and object recognition.
- Picture books: Encouraging children to explore picture books with vibrant illustrations helps develop visual tracking skills and expands their vocabulary.
- Color sorting: Providing different colored objects or sorting materials allows children to identify and match colors, enhancing visual discrimination.
2. Auditory (Hearing):
- Music and rhymes: Singing songs, playing musical instruments, or reciting rhymes helps develop listening skills, rhythm awareness, and language acquisition.
- Sound guessing game: Introduce various sounds (e.g., animal sounds, musical instruments) and ask children to guess the source of the sound, promoting auditory discrimination and memory.
3. Olfactory (Smell):
- Scented playdough: Adding essential oils or food extracts to playdough can introduce different scents for children to explore and identify.
- Smelling jars: Filling small jars with aromatic substances like herbs, spices, or flowers and allowing children to guess the smells stimulates their sense of smell and vocabulary development.
4. Gustatory (Taste):
- Taste testing: Offering a variety of safe and age-appropriate foods with different flavors (sweet, sour, salty) promotes taste exploration and expands their palate.
- Cooking or baking activities: Involving children in simple cooking or baking activities allows them to experience various tastes and textures while learning about food.
5. Tactile (Touch):
- Sensory bins: Filling bins with materials like rice, sand, water beads, or foam offers a range of textures for children to explore through touch, improving sensory integration and fine motor skills.
- Playdough and clay: Manipulating playdough or clay supports tactile stimulation, hand-eye coordination, and creativity.
6. Vestibular (Balance and Movement):
- Swinging: Providing swings or hammocks for children to enjoy gentle swinging motions helps develop their sense of balance and spatial awareness.
- Balance beam: Setting up a low and safe balance beam allows children to practice balancing skills while building core strength and coordination.
7. Proprioceptive (Body Awareness):
- Obstacle courses: Creating obstacle courses with crawling tunnels, stepping stones, and balance challenges helps children develop body awareness, coordination, and motor planning skills.
- Heavy work activities: Encouraging activities that involve pushing, pulling, or carrying objects (e.g., pushing a cart, carrying books) provides deep pressure input, promoting self-regulation and body awareness.
These sensory activities in an Anganwadi setting provide young children with opportunities to explore their senses, promote cognitive and physical development, enhance language skills, and support social-emotional well-being. It's important to ensure that the activities are safe, age-appropriate, and supervised by qualified caregivers or educators.
Activities where children explore various sounds, colours, textures, taste and smells help to stimulate their senses and enables them to have neural connections and thus leads to congnitive development.
ReplyDeleteChildren need sensory activities that will help them to understand and relate to concepts easily at this stage of development.
ReplyDeleteWe can give them picture to observe and describe, also colours to identify.
ReplyDeleteBlindfold and make them recognise different sounds and also smells
Play whispering game.
Identify different objects from magic bag.(without looking )
Giving them lots of practice will enhance their sensory organs.
Sensory play activities often involve touching, pouring, pinching, sorting, and moving actions. Preschoolers primarily use their hands to explore, and in doing so, they build upon their fine motor skills that will later be used for writing, buttoning clothes, zipping jackets and tying shoes.
ReplyDeleteThe following sensory activities, if conducted sincerely, can be beneficial for Anganwadi Students:
ReplyDelete- By audio-visual teaching, the children will have better learning about the sound as well as physical properties which would also help in cognitive development.
- By teaching through different shapes and sizes.
- Clay making activities
- Rhymes and nursery stories
- Naming the fruit, touching and tasting it blindfolded.
The following sensory activities will be beneficial to children in Anganwadi

Sensory activities play a crucial role in the development and learning of young children in Anganwadis. Anganwadis are early childhood care and education centers in India that provide a nurturing environment for children between the ages of 3 to 6 years. Incorporating sensory activities in their daily routine offers numerous benefits to the children's physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development. Here are some ways sensory activities are beneficial for young children in Anganwadis:
ReplyDeleteCognitive development: Sensory activities stimulate the brain and enhance cognitive abilities. When children engage in activities that involve their senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing), they make connections between sensory inputs and the world around them. This helps in developing problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and memory retention.
Language development: Sensory activities often involve communication and language exploration. Through these activities, children can learn new vocabulary related to different textures, colors, shapes, and sounds. Engaging in discussions during sensory play fosters language development and improves communication skills.
Motor skills: Sensory activities require children to use their fine and gross motor skills. Manipulating objects, pouring liquids, and playing with different textures improve hand-eye coordination, balance, and overall physical dexterity.
Social skills: Many sensory activities are designed to be done in groups. This encourages children to interact, share, and collaborate with their peers, fostering the development of social skills such as cooperation, empathy, and emotional regulation.
Emotional development: Sensory activities can have a calming and soothing effect on children. They help children explore their emotions, relieve stress, and express themselves in a non-verbal manner. Engaging in sensory play can also boost self-esteem and confidence as children gain a sense of accomplishment from successfully completing tasks.
Creativity and imagination: Sensory activities provide open-ended opportunities for children to explore and create. Through imaginative play, children can invent new scenarios and use various materials to represent their ideas, promoting creativity and innovation.
Sensory integration: Sensory activities aid in the integration of sensory information from different senses, allowing children to process and respond to sensory stimuli more effectively. This integration is crucial for everyday activities and learning experiences.
Cultural awareness: Sensory activities can incorporate elements of local culture, traditions, and nature, helping children develop a deeper understanding of their surroundings and cultural heritage.

ReplyDeleteAnganwadi- is one of the Integrated Child Development Services Programme propounded by the Govt. of India in the year 1975. It caters to the children of the age group 0-6 years. Whereas, a child can be at the custody of the care- giver/ in a health care centre of in a creche/ day care centre, the nutrient requirements of the mother and the child are taken care at the government centre of anganwadi.
Whereas, the Classic conditioning and Operant conditioning matters in learning; Sensori- motor learning plays a very important role from birth to 2 years of age. A new born sucks its feed through the sense of smell and the intrinsic urge to satiate hunger. As the child develops, the five senses too develop along with the mental age. Children learn by attraction to colours and gestures, voices of the care giver etc. Any activity attuned to the senses will always help. Music, toys that make sounds, colourful toys or even a small string tied to a place where it is reachable by the child's eye helps the child to develop curiosity and respond. A conducive learning environment set up by a care giver, helps child develop confidence and groom its life skills. Apart from sensorial learning experiences, a happy environment be it a family or a day care centre/ a shelter provided and taken up with involvement help the child reach the milestones of development.

ReplyDeleteSensory activities play a crucial role in the development of young children in kindergarten. Here are five benefits:
ReplyDelete1. *Cognitive Development:* Sensory play engages multiple senses, enhancing cognitive skills like problem-solving, decision-making, and critical thinking.
2. *Fine Motor Skills
3. *Language Development
4. *Social Skills
5. *Emotional Regulation
Incorporating a variety of sensory experiences into the kindergarten environment promotes holistic development, addressing cognitive, motor, social, and emotional aspects of a child's growth.
As sensory organs are the gateways of learning and in foundationaI years the activities through these various senses help in building strong neural connections and thus have a lifelong impact.We can devise various activities for various sensory organs which can be beneficial for the child's learning in anganwadi or preschool.
ReplyDelete1.Activity for sense of sight:We can ask children to observe various colours and then try to find out the objects around them having those colours.This will help children to develop power of observation and colour concept.
2.Activity for sense of hearing (Ears):We can blindfold the child and ask other children one by one to ask him various questions about him(the blindfolded child).This will develop the power of recognition through voice and also language development as blindfolded child would keenly listen to the other children and listening sense would be developed.
3.Activity for smelling sense:We can again blindfold the child and provide various eatables to him to smell at and guess the food item.
4.Sense of Taste:We can bring variety of things and let children taste them one by one to give them the concept of sour,sweet,bitter,salty,spicy tastes and so on.
5Activity for sense of touch:we can bring soft and hard things and let children touch them,hold them and so on.This will not only develope their fine motor muscles,but also give them concept of hard and soft.Similarily tracing letters on sand will help them to learn writting by involving sense of touch
Very active, enthusiastic and discovering and rapid sensory cognitive and physical development age really needs supportive activities which nourish and help in building strong generations.so, teachers and persons working or involved with this age group really need to be very active, should have creative and vibrant mind set and willingness

Sense of smell can be stimulated in an activity in the garden where they can smell flowers. Sense of touch can be stimulated by touching and feeling different parts of a plqn such as flowers, fruits, branches, leaves etc. Sense of sight can be the different colors that a child sees and likes. Sense of hearing can be to quietly listen to the outside environment of the garden full of birds chirping, tree leaves whirring etc. Sense of taste could be stimulated by trying various foods which a child may or may not like. All this will help develop these senses within the brain of a child and he or she will use these connections to grow.
