My favorite worksheet is coming next, The 5 Senses: Hard vs. Soft Sorting Sheet. Have your little ones cut and paste each object into its correct column.

Next, trace the words with a marker or crayon in the Sense of Touch Tracing Sheet. Be sure to read the sentence aloud and color in the pictures. Repetitive tracing builds muscle memory and hand strength. Finally, practice your cut & paste skills in the Sense of Touch Puzzle. Discover the answer to the question, “What feels so soft?” Spoiler alter! It’s a cute kitty cat!
