Preschool Activities That Feature the Five Senses

Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

The senses are the first and best resources for preschoolers to learn. The five senses help children explore the world and make sense of what’s around them. These activities to help kids use their senses in lots of different ways.
