There are numerous useful resources to improve the performance of the little ones at home and in life. For example, betting on crafts to stimulate children's senses. In addition to being good vehicles for children's sensory-motor development, they are also a lot of fun. And, after all, isn't learning while having fun the best way to educate the little ones?
Make a note of these crafts to stimulate children's senses.
Let's start with the best crafts to stimulate children's senses so that, while they improve in their daily lives as they grow older, they also learn about their world, their environment and their life.
Blind tasting
We are going to start with the sense of taste, which can also help us by choosing to improve others, such as touch or smell. To do this, we will bet on blind tasting.
How do we do it?
We can choose the simple version. We cut pieces of different food products, such as cheeses, fruits, vegetables, meats, etc. Then, we have the kids, blindfolded, taste and analyze them to see what they are eating. But, if we prefer to complicate the matter, we have the option of making two groups of children. They will all have the same ingredients, and with them they will have to prepare several dishes. Then, the children of the opposite group and vice versa will taste the cooking of the rival team and will have to detect the maximum possible amount of ingredients in each preparation.
Colorful flowers growing
We are now going to see a craft that stimulates the sense of sight, and also the sense of touch, since children have to touch and manipulate certain tools.
How to do it?
We will use paper felt, colored markers, a small glass jar, water and newspaper. With all this we will draw on the felt a colored circle for each marker we have.
Once this is done, we fold the felt, place the bottle with the water and wet the tip of the paper. Then, we will see how it will be colored as if it were a kind of flower.
Texture differentiation
This is a very simple craft that will help children learn to differentiate different textures through touch. To do this, you can create as many options as you want, to know what is rough, what is hard, what is soft, what is sticky, etc.
How can you do it?
Obviously, there are many options, since it can be done with all kinds of materials. In general, we use cardboard, sandpaper, markers, tape, cotton, stones, glue, scissors and anything we consider useful to make objects of various textures.
From here, we will decide how we want to proceed. The ideal is to use the cardboard, and paint several circles on it. From there, in each of these circles, we will add and paste an object, something that has a peculiar texture. For example, sandpaper, absorbent cotton, stones...
Then, the process is simple. The children will identify, not only by touch, but also by sight, each of these textures that we have created.
