The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.
The sense exercises constitute a species of auto-education, which, if these exercises be many times repeated, leads to a perfecting of the child's psycho-sensory processes.

Sensorial
 
     
  The mind requires education to be able to differentiate and appreciate various sights, sounds, smells, textures, and tastes. Specially designed sensory-based exercises focus on each of the five senses. These exercises heighten powers of observation, enrich descriptive vocabulary, and help children categorize new information while building on what they have already absorbed outside of the class.
