“Mud Faces” – Kindergarteners Explore the Sense of Touch!
Posted by Jacqui MudreArmed with trowels, a wheelbarrow and water Kindergarten students headed out to the Unquowa Woods. While studying our five senses in Science we decided to take the sense of touch lesson outside to make “Mud Faces”. Digging up the dirt wasn’t always easy. The children searched for places to find ”soft” dirt and announced it to the class. After we had enough dirt in the wheelbarrow water was added to make mud. Now Kindergarten was ready to make “Mud Faces” on the Unquowa trees. Taking a handful of mud and slapping it on the tree was our first step. Sometimes it would fall off but we didn’t give up! Another handful of mud was soon added. Next Kindergarteners looked for nature’s objects to make their facial features. Leaves, stones, sticks and nuts were just some of their creative ideas. At the end we were dirty but proud of our creations! How could it be that learning about the sense of touch could be so messy and fun?
