Sensorial
Gustatory Sense
Tasting activities explore different flavors.
In Global Village Montessori, the gustatory (taste) sense is nurtured through various activities that promote sensory exploration and learning:
- Sensorial Materials: Children may encounter taste-testing activities with different flavors or textures, such as sweet, sour, salty, and bitter.
- Practical Life Exercises: Cooking and food preparation activities allow children to experience and understand different tastes in a hands-on way.
- Language and Culture: Exploring foods from different cultures introduces children to diverse flavors and culinary traditions, broadening their gustatory experiences.
- Health and Nutrition: Discussions about food choices and their effects on health help children develop a balanced approach to taste and nutrition.
- Integration with Other Senses: Gustatory experiences often overlap with olfactory and tactile sensations, enriching overall sensory development.
