This theme is explored through five chapters focusing on different ways in which children discover ‘senses’, including activities related to touch, sight, smell, hearing and taste to promote their physical development skills and help them start to develop their understanding of the world around them.

The book includes:
* Top tips for how to ensure the needs and interests of each unique child are provided for through challenging, enjoyable activities and positive relationships.

* Guidance on setting up enabling environments using both indoor and outside areas including questions that will encourage children to talk about their experiences as they play.

* Ideas for how to differentiate to meet varying abilities and rates of development with advice on assessment through abserving, reflecting and planning.

* Statements from Development Matters linked to the related Early Learning Goals to support practitioners in observing what children are learning.

* A straightforward planning chart to clearly identify the focus of each activity by prime and specific areas of learning and development.
