Many preschoolers can name the five senses and point to the body parts that are associated with each one, but it’s not very often that we take time to really explore each sense. This Easy Five Senses Lesson Plan for Preschool is full of fun, hands on activities that will help teach and investigate the five senses.
Whether you are a preschool or kindergarten classroom teacher, a homeschooling parent, or just searching for some fun five senses theme activities to do with your child, these lesson plans will be the perfect resource for you!
The best thing about these activities to teach the five senses for preschoolers is that you are provided with fully detailed, comprehensive lesson plans that are already written for you.
Another added bonus is that they require minimal prep work and just a few simple materials you probably already have lying around your house. You are instantly set up for success!
Simply download the lesson plans and print the accompanying activities to get started. No need to print the entire lesson plan book unless you really want to. (Some teachers LOVE putting the lesson plans into a binder for easy offline access!)
