ABSTRACT
Although we talk mainly about the five primary senses, it is helpful to
consider that there are other qualities that are also referred to as ‘senses’ –
for example, a sense of self, a sense of place, or a sense of time. All five
primary senses are part of a totality of bodily or physical senses.When we are
exploring the senses through play, we may find that children have other ideas
about their senses; but it is important for children to be able to differentiate
between their senses and their feelings. Children have different stages and
time frames in the development of feeling and senses, and one is needed in
order to develop the other.
