Food Senses

• Please note this activity can only be done assuming children are NOT ALLERGIC to the foods being consumed! For sense of taste be very careful to make sure it is a small enough portion that they cannot choke. 

• Place food dishes all around-note if you are not doing this with a group, you could also do this with small portions of food or with small scoops of spices.

• Ask your children to use their senses to make observations and record them on the page.

​

• Another option for this activity is to put small bits of food in a container that a child cannot see through. They must then use their senses to guess what the item is! Naturally for this option they will be only able to use their senses of: smell, taste, and touch. For sense of taste be very careful if the child is not actually looking at the item to make sure it is a small enough portion that they cannot choke.
