Step-by-step solution for: Printable five senses worksheet - Preschoolplanet | Five senses ...
This worksheet is designed to help children learn about the five senses by matching body parts (on the left) with objects or experiences that relate to each sense (on the right). Let's go through it step by step.
---
1. Sight – using the eyes
2. Smell – using the nose
3. Hearing – using the ears
4. Touch – using the hands/skin
5. Taste – using the tongue
---
1. Eye → Sight
2. Nose → Smell
3. Ear → Hearing
4. Hand → Touch
5. Mouth/Tongue → Taste
---
1. Ice cream → This is something you taste.
2. Sunglasses → These protect your eyes, so they relate to sight.
3. Hot cup of coffee → You can smell the aroma, so this relates to smell.
4. Radio playing music → This produces sound, so it’s for hearing.
5. Flower → You can smell a flower, so it relates to smell.
Wait — we have two items related to smell? Let's double-check:
- The hot coffee and the flower both involve smell.
- But the nose only matches one item.
So we need to make sure each sense has one correct match.
Let’s re-evaluate:
---
Now, let’s carefully assign each body part to the best-matching experience on the right:
1. Eye → Sunglasses
- Sunglasses are used to protect the eyes when looking at bright things. So this connects to sight.
2. Nose → Hot cup of coffee or Flower?
- Both have strong scents, but coffee is more commonly associated with smell in such worksheets.
- However, flowers are classic examples of things you smell.
- Actually, both could be valid, but since there's only one nose, we must pick one.
But wait — let's look again: Is there another option?
Wait — perhaps ice cream is not just taste, but also sight? No — ice cream is primarily tasted.
Let’s list the best matches:
| Body Part | Best Match | Sense |
|----------|------------|-------|
| Eye | Sunglasses | Sight |
| Nose | Flower | Smell |
| Ear | Radio | Hearing |
| Hand | ??? | Touch |
| Mouth | Ice cream | Taste |
Wait — hand hasn’t been matched yet. What object relates to touch?
Looking at the right column:
- Ice cream → taste
- Sunglasses → sight
- Coffee → smell
- Radio → hearing
- Flower → smell
But none of the items clearly show touch!
Ah! Wait — the hot cup of coffee might also be touched — you feel its warmth. So touch could apply here too.
But usually, in these worksheets, each object is linked to one primary sense.
Let’s reconsider:
- Ice cream: You taste it → tongue/mouth
- Sunglasses: You see through them → eye
- Hot coffee: You smell it, but also feel heat → but smell is primary
- Radio: You hear music → ear
- Flower: You smell it → nose
But then we have two smell items: coffee and flower.
And no clear touch item.
Hmm...
Wait — is there a mistake? Or maybe the hand should connect to touching the coffee cup?
But the image shows only the cup, not the hand touching it.
Alternatively, perhaps the ice cream is meant to be touched as well? But again, taste is primary.
Let’s think differently.
Maybe the hand goes with nothing? That can't be.
Wait — perhaps the flower is also touched? But the picture doesn’t show that.
Alternatively, maybe the sunglasses are handled by the hand? But again, not shown.
Wait — perhaps the radio is touched? But not indicated.
Actually, none of the right-side images directly show touch.
But the hot coffee — you feel the heat when holding it — so touch is involved.
Similarly, ice cream is cold — you feel that.
But in early learning, taste is the main sense for ice cream.
So perhaps the intended matches are:
1. Eye → Sunglasses (sight)
2. Nose → Flower (smell)
3. Ear → Radio (hearing)
4. Hand → Hot coffee (touch — because you hold it and feel heat)
5. Mouth → Ice cream (taste)
But wait — coffee is also smelled.
So if nose → flower, then coffee can't be smell.
But coffee is better known for smell than touch.
Alternatively, nose → coffee, flower → touch? But flowers aren't typically associated with touch.
Wait — perhaps the hand is meant to go with touching the flower? But no image of that.
Alternatively, maybe the ice cream is touched before eating?
But again, taste is the main sense.
Wait — let’s look back at the original image.
On the right side:
1. Ice cream → taste
2. Sunglasses → sight
3. Hot coffee → smell (aroma) or touch (heat)
4. Radio → hearing
5. Flower → smell
So two smell options, one touch missing.
But the hand is on the left — it needs a match.
The only thing that makes sense is that you use your hand to hold the coffee cup, so touch applies.
But the coffee is also smelled.
So perhaps the hand matches hot coffee via touch, and nose matches flower via smell.
That works.
Alternatively, nose → coffee, hand → flower? But flowers aren't touched in the image.
No.
Best solution:
- Eye → Sunglasses (sight)
- Nose → Flower (smell)
- Ear → Radio (hearing)
- Hand → Hot coffee (touch — because you hold it and feel warmth)
- Mouth → Ice cream (taste)
Even though coffee has smell, touch is the dominant sense here in the context of using the hand.
Alternatively, maybe ice cream is both tasted and touched, but taste is primary.
But ice cream is soft and cold — you feel it too.
But the mouth is the organ for taste, not touch.
So mouth → ice cream is correct.
Hand → hot coffee (touch), even though it’s also smelled.
But the nose should go with smell, so nose → flower or coffee.
We have to choose one.
Let’s see which is more iconic:
- Flower → smell (classic example)
- Coffee → smell (also classic)
But coffee is hot, so touch is also involved.
But flower is not hot, so only smell.
Therefore, nose → flower is best.
Then coffee → hand (touch)
Yes.
So final matching:
| Left | Right | Sense |
|------|-------|-------|
| Eye | Sunglasses | Sight |
| Nose | Flower | Smell |
| Ear | Radio | Hearing |
| Hand | Hot coffee | Touch |
| Mouth | Ice cream | Taste |
---
Match the pictures:
1. Eye → Sunglasses (Sight)
2. Nose → Flower (Smell)
3. Ear → Radio (Hearing)
4. Hand → Hot coffee (Touch)
5. Mouth → Ice cream (Taste)
---
Each body part is connected to the sense it uses:
- Eyes see through sunglasses.
- Nose smells flowers.
- Ears hear music from the radio.
- Hands feel the heat of the coffee cup (touch).
- Mouth/tongue tastes ice cream.
This helps children understand how different body parts help us experience the world through the five senses.

The Five Senses:
1. Sight – using the eyes
2. Smell – using the nose
3. Hearing – using the ears
4. Touch – using the hands/skin
5. Taste – using the tongue

Left Column (Body Parts):
1. Eye → Sight
2. Nose → Smell
3. Ear → Hearing
4. Hand → Touch
5. Mouth/Tongue → Taste

Right Column (Objects/Experiences):
1. Ice cream → This is something you taste.
2. Sunglasses → These protect your eyes, so they relate to sight.
3. Hot cup of coffee → You can smell the aroma, so this relates to smell.
4. Radio playing music → This produces sound, so it’s for hearing.

✔ Final Answer:
Match the pictures:
1. Eye → Sunglasses (Sight)
2. Nose → Flower (Smell)
3. Ear → Radio (Hearing)

Explanation:
Each body part is connected to the sense it uses:
- Eyes see through sunglasses.
- Nose smells flowers.
- Ears hear music from the radio.
- Hands feel the heat of the coffee cup (touch).
- Mouth/tongue tastes ice cream.
This helps children understand how different body parts help us experience the world through the five senses.
