Valentine's Day is the perfect time to bond with children at home and to teach kids all about feelings. Check out our 3 steps volcanoes with feelings, a sensory activity for preschoolers.

Volcanoes with feelings. A fun home activity for kids. Sensory activity for preschoolers.

María Montessori named the brain of children an absorbent brain. From the moment they are born until they are six years old, children have an almost infinite capacity to learn. In this stage, 80% of the brain is developed. That is why it must receive stimuli to form the most significant number of neuronal connections. The best way to achieve this is via sensory stimulation through smell, touch, taste, hearing, and sight that this information reaches the brain.

Sensory stimulation is essential for developing children's intelligence, which must be done with greater intensity from 0 to 3 years old. That does not mean that it will not work after three years, but the brain loses its plasticity over the years. Children learn from everything they see, feel, and hear from their environment, so it is appropriate to do activities with them at home to stimulate each of their senses.

Nature gives us several stimuli that we can use with children, such as colors, textures, sounds, and smells. To develop a smell, we can provide them with the opportunity to smell each food they are going to taste. Nature has its perfumes; flowers have a diversity of odors. A game that can be played is identifying odors. Children with a more developed sense of smell are more willing to try new foods. Believe it or not, taste and smell have a great relationship.


Developing a sense of touch is very easy; keep in mind that contact does not refer only to the hands. The sense of touch is the entire skin of our body, which is often not considered. Children love to play with water, so the bath can be a good opportunity for them to feel textures, temperatures, walk barefoot in the grass, touch the flowers and trees.

To stimulate their hearing, we can perform activities at home using objects inside a jar, identify the sounds of the different animals, songs, and relatives' voices. All the sounds that children can perceive are stimuli and information of the brain.

The eyes are the least developed sense at birth. However, it is the most stimulated. It is considered one of the most important. One way to stimulate sight is through activities involving different colors, books, and colors of flowers. The world is full of visual stimuli.

And finally, there is the sense of taste. To stimulate it, we must provide children with various foods. The more children try foods, the easier to include new foods in their diet. Let us ensure that children eat vegetables and fruits from an early age. In this way, they will not have problems later and promote a healthy diet.

The following sensory activity for preschoolers provides various stimuli such as the smells of each of the materials and the same physical reaction.
