Sensory Pedagogy: Understanding and encountering children through the senses

In the present article we aim to explore the link between Merleau-Pontyan phenomenology

and what we call sensory pedagogy. The latter connects to recent sensory ethnography as

presented by S. Pink (Sensory ethnography. London: Sage; 2009). We discuss how these

thoughts can be put to work in toddler pedagogy. This kind of sensory pedagogy challenges

teachers to understand and encounter children through their embodied mind and senses.
