My youngest son had a class at the zoo. It covered various animals and how they utilize their senses. Plus she had the kids participate by using that same sense - for example when they were discussing taste each student closed their eyes and she put a marshmellow in their hands - they were to not look but put it in their mouths. (Most kids looked - at this age there is NO WAY they are going to put some unidentified item it their mouth - it could be a pea or a carrot or worse squash or zucchini! Oh no!!)
She had them put their hands out to 'feel' / touch the items she was bringing around - one was a feather and the other was fur of an animal.
In all the zoo classes they always get to have a craft that goes over the concepts learned. Here the students glued on the animals to the picture of the senses that was discussed.
