We had a blast learning all about our 5 senses. As a culminating activity, students created a 5 senses Teddy Bear. Jingle bells were glued to his ears for hearing. A scented cotton ball was glued for his nose. A stick of gum for taste. Shredded paper was glued to his paws for touch. Wiggly eyes were added for sight. The students loved the activity and did such a great job. We interviewed each child asking him/her, "If you were a bear, what would you (see, hear, taste, touch, or smell)? I tried to divide the class into groups of 5 so there would be a variety of responses using the senses. And boy, were the responses adorable! I typed them up and added them to our board.
Above is the final product. How cute!! My talented assistant even made a 3-D bee hive complete with pom-pom and pipe cleaner bees! I love bulletin boards that give dimension.
Since this one was in the "smell" section...we just had to have him smell a sweet flower like one of my students dictated to me during his interview.
Love the bee-hive and little bees. It's the little things that brings it all together!
Close-up of one of the bears. The students loved making these and we let then do all the gluing on their own. You would have thought we'd given them gold when we gave them a bottle of liquid glue to use. 5K-ers can make anything fun!
Don't you just love the responses!
Love how the top bear is smelling his gum and touching the flower.
