Today, we had an AMAZING time exploring food in a whole new way—blindfolded! The children were challenged to identify different foods without using their sight, relying only on their sense of taste, smell, and touch. We had a tray filled with delicious surprises: pear, apple, mandarin, crackers, corn chips, grapes, pretzels, and kumara. Each child sat in front of the mystery bowls, blindfolded, and had to guess what they were tasting. This activity not only helped the children understand how our senses work together, but it also sparked their curiosity about food science and sensory integration. They exercised their memory and cognitive skills while learning how our senses shape our perception of the world. By focusing on taste, smell, and touch while temporarily eliminating sight, children can gain a deeper understanding of the sensory systems and how they work together to create the experience of eating.
