First, get started with two Sense of Touch Coloring Sheets. Color each picture and say its name out loud. Color in a cactus, rabbit, tissue box, pillow, and Legos.

Hard vs. Soft
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. The hard items are “Legos”, “cactus”, “knife and fork”, and “rocks”. The soft items are “rabbit”, “pillow”, “cat”, and “tissue”. Next, have fun with a Touch Scavenger Hunt. Put a check next to each thing you feel! Use this worksheet as a jumping off point to talk about all the different textures you discover.
The 5 Senses Worksheets
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!
