How We Describe Thing

describe the world around us. We'll discover how things look, feel, smell, and even taste, all by using our incredible
five senses!

What Color Is It?
Red: Imagine a juicy apple, a big fire truck, or a sweet strawberry.
All are bright red!
Blue: Look up at the sky, or think about the wide ocean and your
comfy jeans – they're blue.
Yellow: The warm sun, a yummy banana, and a tangy lemon are
all sunny yellow.
Green: The soft grass, the leaves on a tree, and a little frog.
Many colors: Some things, like a beautiful rainbow or a pile of
colorful building blocks, have lots of colors all at once!

Square
What Shape Is It? Think of a building block, a
crunchy cracker, or a window –
they have four equal sides like a
square.
Circle
A ball, a clock, and a delicious
pizza are all round like a circle. Triangle
A slice of pizza, half a sandwich, or
the roof of a house can be shaped
like a triangle, with three sides.
Heart
A Valentine's card or a heart-
shaped balloon are examples
of this lovely shape. Star
Look for a starfish, a shiny
sticker, or a star twinkling in the
night sky.

How Big Is It?
Big: An enormous elephant, a long school bus, or a
giant teddy bear are all very big!
Small: A tiny ant, a little pebble, or a small button are all
very small.
Tall: A giraffe with a long neck, a towering building, or
a tall tree reach high up.
Short: A small dog, a little table, or a crayon are
examples of things that are short.
We can also compare things! Can you find a big ball
and a small ball?

How Does It Smell? (Odor)
Good Smells: Imagine the delicious scent
of fresh-baked cookies, the sweet fragrance of
flowers, or the clean smell of soap. These make
our noses happy!
Bad Smells: Sometimes, things don't smell
so nice, like stinky socks, a pile of garbage, or a
rotten egg. We use our noses to tell the
difference!
Your nose helps you find and identify all sorts of smells around
you every day.

How Does It Taste?
Sweet: Candy, ice cream, and cake are deliciously sweet and make your taste buds sing!
Salty: Pretzels, chips, and popcorn have that savory, salty taste that makes you want more.
Sour: A lemon, some sour candy, or a pickle can make your mouth pucker with a tart, sour taste.
Bitter: Dark chocolate and coffee have a strong, slightly bitter flavor.
