5 Senses-Taste

In preschool we are finishing our unit on the 5 Senses- today was my favorite Taste.

We did our taste page for our senses book.

"Taste"- My sense of taste helps me choose what to eat.

I cut out food from a grocery sales paper and the kids glued on food they thought tasted good.


I took a small mirror to class and let all the kids look at the bumps on their tongue, so they could see their taste buds.

Then we tasted, cocoa powder- bitter, chips- salty, lemon-sour and candy bar for sweet.

We also had lemonade. We talked about how the lemons tasted sour but adding the sugar to the juice can make it sweet.

The 5 senses unit has been a lot of fun for the kids.

Super Easy Volcanos

Image
I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Fall Toilet Paper Roll Tree

Image
This is a great craft for even young children. I think it turned out so cute. You will need: Red, yellow and orange paint, scissors, toilet paper roll, and green construction paper (or card stock). Cut the green paper into the shape of the tree top. Use fingerprints dipped in the paint as Fall leaves. Cut 2 slits down, across from each other on the toilet paper roll. Slide tree top into those slits.

Father's Day Card

If you Dad is into fishing I think this would be a great Father's Day Card for the kids to make. We used: Fish Coloring Page , tissue paper or crepe paper (cut up into sqares), glue, construction paper, wiggly eye, and a marker. Glue on pieces of the tissue paper and eye to the coloring page. Cut out the fish pattern. Glue on to folded construction paper. Write," Fishing You a Happy Father's Day !!!!" Cheyanne made one for her daddy and one for God.
