Our Five Senses - Painting with Spices

🍂 Exploring Our Five Senses and Autumn Spices 🍁

We have been busy exploring our Five Senses — especially our sense of smell and sight — through a fun and creative art and science activity!

We created beautiful Autumn paintings using spices such as cinnamon, paprika, cloves, and curry powder. The classroom smelt amazing as we mixed the different powders with paint and water to see what colours they made.

After our painting, we did some writing to describe what we saw and smelt. We talked about:

• Which spice had the strongest smell 🌶️
• Which one we liked the smell of most 🌸
• And which spice made the brightest colour 🎨

The children used wonderful describing words like sweet and spicy, and we loved seeing how engaged they were with all their senses.

It was a lovely way to celebrate the colours and scents of Autumn while learning more about how our senses help us explore the world around us!
