Five Senses: getting a massage and playing with play-doh.
They worked on their 5 senses lapbook, which I made several years ago for K when she was in Kindergarten.
Talked about how God made each of us special, unique, and he loves us very much. Great to remind the kids of how special they are and to always believe in themselves and love themselves just the way they are.
Set up several stations for the five senses for the kids to observe: Sight, Smell, Taste, Listen, and Touch.
Tasting and smelling several items while keeping their eyes closed and trying to guess what the item was.
