The Sensory Museum: Video 5: Touch

The Sensory Museum video series is designed to engage elementary students (ages 4-8) in exploring the five senses through interactive and creative activities. Each episode will focus on one of the senses — sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch — using theater, music, movement, and visual arts to enhance learning.

In Video #5, AFA Teaching Artist Nicole Hogsett will help children understand the sense of touch, focusing on textures and how tactile experiences shape their interaction with the world.

This video series incorporates Spanish vocabulary to assist young English Language Learners (ELL) as well as English speaking youth looking to learn Spanish.
