*  Great activities for  the 5 senses are sound bottles and smelliy jars. The
sound bottles are simply prescription bottles(the pharmacy gives them free if
you tell them you are a Pre- School teacher)In pairs have 2 with a penny in
it, rice, salt, oatmeal anything you can think of. Then cover the bottles
with colored contac paper. Then have the children try to match the sounds
from the bottles. It will keep them interested for a long time. The smelly
bottles are also empty prescription jars with cottonballs soaked with
different smells.....Vanilla,orange extract, perfume, vinegar let your
imagination run wild... Let the children smell them and guess what it is they
are smelling....... It's great sensory fun.
