    5 senses

    I have done experiments: Use film canisters with different "smells" inside. Cut a hole or slit in the lid of the folm can. Put things like cotton balls soaked with a little vanilla extract or almond. You can slso have slices of onion, a pickle, peanut butter and so on. They obviously have to try to identify them only a sense of smell.
    For another "touch" experiment, the 'feely' box would work. Reach in and identify items by touch. For sight, you can use pieces of a whole (magazine) picture. They try to identify the whole by seeing only the part. You could also try partners leading one another, while one is blindfolded to get the experience of not having sight.
    For hearing I have made tapes of common sounds that they identify (Discovery toys used to have a game like this with all tapes!).
    Hope this helps!
