What better theme could you have for preschool than the sense of taste? We had loads of fun today learning about all the different kinds of flavors our tongues can taste.
We sampled the four basic tastes that our taste buds can discern by dipping our fingers into individual Dixie cups.
The kids had a fun time guessing the different flavors:
Salty
Sweet
And sour.
We then talked about how the different flavors can be combined to make yummy tasting foods. We used, among other things, cocoa (bitter), sugar (sweet), and salt (salty) to make some hot cocoa. Each of the kids got to add an ingredient, and Gavin got to stir them together. All of the kids thought it tasted great, though Rachel informed me that her mom's is much better. :)
We then worked on our Five Senses books. The kids particularly got a kick out of the stinky baby diapers. Notice how they've all colored individual baby poops on the apparently see through diapers!
What a great group of kids!

I love their expressions as they tasted the foods! You should have contacted me - I could have provided you with a REAL stinky diaper. :)
