Notes that children from birth to age 6 learn best through their senses and gain understanding when involved in activities that bring them into direct contact with the natural world. Suggests that the challenge for early childhood educators is to encourage students to use all of their senses and provide them with excursions outdoors to build observation skills. (LBT)
