Minni's Favorite Books - From Sensory Art Club!
Exploring the Senses with Minni Sensory Art Club
At Minni Sensory Art Club, even our tiniest artists are busy discovering the world — one squish and swirl at a time. This month, we’re diving into the magic of the five senses, celebrating the way babies see, hear, touch, and feel their way through creativity. With bright colors, bold textures, and joyful rhythms, each book becomes a new adventure in noticing the world around them.
Favorites like See, Touch, Feel and The Smell of a Rainbow invite little ones to explore with curious fingers and open eyes — turning pages into playgrounds for the senses. Through these stories, babies begin to connect art with experience, color with curiosity, and sound with movement.
Check out our instructor’s top recommendations below!
