Sensory Safari

Caleb and I spent the morning at Nature Camp! Aldo Leopold Nature Center hidden in Monona, Wisconsin encourages children and adults to "discover and explore the wonders of the natural world". This week we learned all about the five senses...


Sense of Touch


Homemade touch book





Touching plants and dragon fly wings


Sense of Smell

Sniffing hickory nuts


Sense of Sight

"Look! It's a toad!"


Sense of Taste

Tasting bananas, apples and strawberries


Sense of Hearing

We listened to apples crunching, banana peels ripping and birds "yelling". Caleb did his very best to listen to the teacher teaching, but in his full two-year-old spirit tended to lag behind on mini-Caleb-explorations ultimately strengthening his "sense" of independence.
