Incorporating the five senses into learning is crucial for children. Our senses not only play a role in how we experience our environment but help with memory retention. According to (Wordpress, 2023) the brain takes in and processes information through many different channels, such as our senses, touch, taste, smell, hear, and sight. Using our five senses through learning is not only fun but beneficial.
