An early introduction to the senses helps children make connections between parts of their bodies, the words that represent them, and the things that they do. This self-awareness is integral to the development of young children's self-confidence and self-esteem.
Try This...Parents, recite this rhyme while pointing to or gently touching corresponding parts on baby's face. Older children may enjoy doing this rhyme while pointing to or touching the corresponding parts on their own faces.
Two little eyes to look around (point to eyes)
Two little ears to hear each sound (touch ears)
One little nose to smell what's sweet. (touch nose and take a deep breath)
And one little mough that likes to eat. (touch mouth)
YUM! (give child lots of nibble kisses!)
