Week 2: Holidays and the Five Senses Theme: Baking

The holidays and your five senses theme continues this week with a focus on baking. Baking is a fundamental part of holiday celebrations and lends itself to all sorts of sensory experiences. Plus, who doesn’t love to learn surrounded by cookies, pies, pancakes, and gingerbread? Start the week off with a reading of The Sweet Smell of Christmas before stirring up a mixture of games and activities that develop children’s language, math, science, creative, and social skills. Look forward to a week full of delightful scents!
