About this item

Very young children instinctively use their senses to explore the world around them and find sensory games fascinating. In Exploring Together, Matt Lauer and his daughter Romy read a story about the five senses and begin to explore which body parts are used to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. As they read, the Muppet babies are discovering their own senses while playing, singing, and going about their daily lives. When Elmo smells the banana pancakes his Dad is cooking in the kitchen, Elmo's Dad sings a "Smell a Smell Waltz" and makes a game of exploring the different smells around the house. Prairie Dawn and her Mom use their sense of hearing to play hide and seek and go on a treasure hunt around the house to see "what's making that noise" while Baby Bird and Nani Bird search for a lost toy and play games involving sight.
