Why read My Five Senses with your child
Try it with real things in the room. Taste something sweet and something sour, smell a flower, listen for a soft sound and a loud one, and feel something soft and something cold. The book gives one example for each sense, so your child can match every page to their own body. Pause and ask which sense they would miss most, and which flavor they like best.
