In kindergarten, engaging children in activities that involve the five senses can be both educational and fun. Color Hunt: Take children on a walk around the school or playground and have them identify objects of different colors. Nature Collage: Provide materials like leaves, flowers, and grass, and let children create collages using items they find in nature. Sensory Bottles: Fill clear plastic bottles with colorful liquids or objects like glitter, beads, or buttons. Encourage children to shake them and observe the colors and movements.
