Give children words for what they notice and ways to express what feels comfortable.
Senses and Touch Words explores sixteen terms through illustrated everyday scenes, simple explanations and shared activities. Notice, touch, texture, rough, smooth, soft and hard lead into sound, sight, smell, temperature and other sensations.
Compare a familiar cloth with a smooth spoon. Examine bark or make a rubbing through paper. Notice a gentle sound, choose a calmer place and practise a signal for asking a grown-up to stop or help.
Children can look, touch, point, describe or decline. Grown-up notes support choice and boundaries, including conversations about loud sounds, sharp objects and unfamiliar sensations. A glossary, follow-up activities and a closing comfort-guide project help children identify preferences and communicate their needs.
For families and early learning settings, this book connects sensory vocabulary with everyday experiences. Read a few pages together and follow the child's response.
