Discussing senses with children is one of the most powerful educational approaches I've ever used as an educator and a parent. The reason it's so powerful is because it does so many things at once. As you discuss your 5 main senses with your children it simultaneously accomplishes many things at once. Below are just a few things.

1. Improves vocabulary

2. Improves word recall

3. Broadens perspectives

4. Improves critical/creative thinking

5. Improves mindfulness

This podcast discusses why it is particularly helpful for mindfulness.
