In a nutshell: Our senses help us learn, explore, and stay safe.
## What Are the Five Senses?
Our five senses help us learn about the world:
- **Sight:** See shapes, colors, and movement.
- **Hearing:** Listen to music, voices, and sounds.
- **Smell:** Notice flowers or food cooking.
- **Taste:** Enjoy sweet, salty, or sour foods.
- **Touch:** Feel hot, cold, soft, or rough things.
## How Senses Help Us
Senses keep us safe (like hearing a fire alarm) and help us enjoy life (like tasting ice cream).
## Using More Than One Sense
Sometimes we use many senses at the same time, like eating (taste, smell, sight) or playing outside (sight, touch, hearing).
## Caring for Our Senses
Protect your eyes with sunglasses, clean your ears gently, and always wash your hands before eating!
Examples
- Smelling a flower in the garden.
