Flower Fun: Stimulate Smell, Sight, and Touch

Flower Fun: Stimulate Smell, Sight, and Touch


People of all ages enjoy the way flowers stimulate their different senses. Flower Fun, an activity from Playful Bee, is a beautiful and stimulating way to engage your 6 to 9-month-old in developing her sense of smell, sight, and touch. Never mind if your baby pulls a petal off or squishes the flower with her nose! She’s learning to explore and observe through her senses, develop her curiosity about her environment, and practice her hand-eye coordination, too!

Materials:

  • Bouquet of flowers in a variety of colors and scents (thorns removed)

Directions:

  1. Look at the bouquet. Show your baby the bouquet of flowers. Get her excited about exploring them.
  2. Look at each flower. Pick out one flower at a time and bring it up to your baby to touch, smell, and feel.
  3. Describe flowers. As baby explores each flower, talk about what the flower looks, smells, and feels like. Describe it’s texture and fragrance. Tell what color it is. Etc.
