How do children learn about the world around them? They touch, taste, see, smell and hear it, of course! With over 200 activities, Learning Games will delight children as they expand their learning by engaging all of their senses. Children can explore their sense of smell, for example, by making an air freshener from cloves and oranges, taking a “smelly walk” to identify different smells, or by making sweet smelling pictures. The chapters are organized by each of the five senses, with a bonus chapter of multi-sensory activities. The games and activities are designed to help children identify and appreciate their senses—essential tools for understanding their world.
