This site is very busy but turn down the sound and check out the movies on the senses. You would want to preload the movies for Grade Ones as it takes a while to load and the quiz it shows while waiting is beyond them. The content is above Grade One but good graphic explanations. Worth a close look. There are also activities on each sense page.*
