Introduction setting up the article. What are the five senses?

Why is it important for preschoolers to engage in five senses activities (especially in the age of screens and technology)? Reasons can be a bullet list or paragraph (examples below):

‐ One of the best ways to learn is to experience

- The world around us engages all our senses, we rarely experience one alone

- Not all children learn the same way, some are visual, others are auditory, etc.
