          .. flying kites on a windy day or at the beach.
    –  As this is the beginning of multi-sensory 
          awareness’s, 
          .. about things and places you see, ask “what do

                     that’s red?”
                     that’s inside the fence?”
                     on the beach?”
          .. ask Preschooler about things he hears like

                     kitchen sounds,
                     outdoor sounds.
          .. talk about the change in seasons.
          .. investigate neighborhood surroundings.
          .. see what your local public library has to offer.
          .. what kind of sensory action can you find at the 
             zoo?
          .. are there smells and textures at the market 
             (produce section, deli, seafood dept, etc)?
          .. check out the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and 
             textures at your dinner table!
     (tactile, visual, auditory, gross and fine motor, 
      creativity, thinking/learning, language/vocabulary,
      social/emotional, life skills)
