K: Exploring with Our Senses: Touching

One of the five senses is feeling and touching.  Using our hands to explore is probably the second most used sense. In this activity, the kindergartners are exploring the sense of touch using a feely bag. In the bag are several different objects. I would describe the object and ask them to feel for that object. For example, I asked them to feel for something that is hard, smooth and round. Any guesses? It was a marble. They did really well feeling for objects that were soft and fuzzy, smooth and flat, or scratchy and flat. Take a look at the activity below.
