Art & Play - Learning about our 5 senses

momstown West Toronto hosted a fun-filled Art & Play at the Busy Genie yesterday morning.  Our theme this month is our five senses.

At parachute time, we talked about our senses.  The kids knew that their eyes could see, their ears could hear, mouths can taste, noses can smell and hands can feel. We used our eyes and ears for story time - 'Click, Clack, Moo' - and the children made some great MOO-ing sounds!  Parachute time was fun, with bubbles, songs, parachute ride and the fly-away parachute to end. 

We decided to do a craft based on our sense of touch. We made a collage out of things that had different feelings, and textures.  Sidewalk chalk, feathers, fuzzy yarn, crepe paper and pasta noodles!  Lots of different things to feel, which made very different sounds.  Children love to dribble the glue and then see what sticks to it.


A fun-filled morning.  It was so nice to meet some of our new west-end momstown mamas, and their adorable little ones.  Here are some great snaps from the morning!
