Sensory Garden for Kids

Stimulating all the 5 senses can be a really great kids activity in the
garden
~ Children love to participate when they can get actively involved, when
they can Touch the garden, feel it with all of their 5 senses and
~ it is easy when teaching the five senses to utilise a sensory garden
for hands on activities and when creating a thematic unit five senses
theme it is often overlooked to simply go outside in the childrens garden
and explore

Tip:
Sensory Garden for Kids
~ if you are creating a kids sensory garden where other children can come
and visit as well try making some Senses Signs for your areas of the garden
~ ie take some weatherproof wood and make a hand sign for the touch sensory
garden, an ear for he sound part of the kids garden, a nose for the smell
part and and a mouth ( or tongue) fof the taste part and an eye for the
Look out and see Part
~ Information on the five senses can be displayed on laminated sheets
with easy reading kids activities ie: How many xyz can you spot .. and
with a picture of the 5 senses on activity worksheets to be handed out
when preparing thematic unit five senses
~ if you create a little sensory walkway through your garden then at the
end of the path put a little sign and maybe a chair or wooden garden bencah
for sitting on and ask "How did this garden make you feel?
