Printable My Five Senses Sorting Activity for Preschoolers - Free Printable

This worksheet is about matching objects to the senses we use to experience them. The top row shows five senses: sight (eye), taste (mouth/tongue), hearing (ear), smell (nose), and touch (hand).

Let’s go through each item one by one and decide which senses apply.

1. Chocolate bar
Already filled in as an example:
✔ Eye — you can see it
✔ Mouth — you can taste it
✘ Ear — you don’t hear chocolate
✔ Nose — you can smell it
✔ Hand — you can feel its texture

So, only “Ear” gets a red X — that’s correct!

2. Bell
