Mr. Potato Head is a longtime popular toy that has become even more famous thanks to his appearances in the beloved, "Toy Story," movies. Because he can have his body parts both put-on and taken-off he is perfect for teachers to use with their preschoolers when talking about the 5 senses.
Mr. Potato Head and the Five Senses
Nurture Kids Preschool in Fremont (Fremont, California) had a great time working with their kids showing how important our five senses are to our everyday life. By putting pieces of paper that help us, "Sense," on Mr. Potato Head the preschool students were about to study this fun topic. They learned how ears help us hear, eyes help us see, and what other senses do too!
