This research had as objective explore the possibilities and contributions of activities who involve the senses in relation to children up to three years of age, through qualitative nature of bibliography research using inductive method. Initially the formation of human senses was studied since gestation and the seriousness of sense activities in childhood. Posteriorly were used the contributions of child development psychologists like Lev S. Vygotsky (1896-1934), Jean Piaget (1896- 1980) and Henri Wallon (1879-1962) for a purpose to connect the stages of child development until three years with sensorial activities according the referential of each author. Their theories have some different points, however, exist something common among them, that is, they explain that the human development happen in a reciprocal relation between biological and social aspects like the development of motor and cognitive systems and also the relationship between the affectivity, the culture and language. We present proposals of tactile, sound, gustatory, olfactory and visual activities as well as a way of realize them and the necessary stuff. Reaching a conclusion that is possible to create conditions to realize these activities in child education for a better development of their mental and cognitive skills.
