Exploring with All Five Senses
Sensory play that taps into sight, sound, smell, touch, and even taste helps young children make sense of the world. At Kiddlo, we intentionally include multi-sensory activities in our curriculum to strengthen focus, language, and emotional regulation.
Sound Match Jars
Fill small containers with different items (beans, paper clips, rice). Shake and guess what’s inside! Builds auditory skills and memory.
Frozen Toy Rescue
Freeze small toys in an ice tray. Give your child warm water and tools to “rescue” them. It’s a mini science experiment with big smiles.
Scented Playdough
Add cinnamon, lemon, or peppermint oil to homemade playdough. Let kids squish and smell — a great way to link scents with emotions.
Light Table Discovery
Use a light table or clear bin with a flashlight. Add translucent objects for children to explore glowing colors and shapes.
Lemonade Sensory Station
Let kids squeeze lemons, stir sugar, and taste the final mix. A sensory-rich activity that’s part science, part snack.
