This past week we talked about the story of Jacob and Esau. I never realized (or thought about) it before, but the story involves all 5 senses. So, we spent the week talking about our 5 senses! Unfortunately, the kiddos had colds, so we didn’t really do anything fun with the sense of taste or smell, but hopefully we will when their noses stop running. We did do a lot of listening and guessing about what noises we heard. The boys loved that and keep stopping me even this week when we are out and about saying “Mommy, listen. What do you hear?” We also touched a lot of things and talked about hot, cold, soft, furry, scratchy, bumpy as well as how some things can involve more than one sense.

We concentrated a little more on the sense of sound, as that’s where the boys seemed to have the most fun. They entertained themselves often with parades playing their instruments, humming, singing, more humming and some screeching mixed in.

We did take a fun field trip, but you’ll have to come back tomorrow to read about it, although the pics above were taken at a park that day. I didn’t want to make this post too long……
