The five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and space—make up our bodies. Children who comprehend and interact with these factors may become more conscious of and present in their body. They could have a deeper understanding of who they are and their place in the environment around them as a result. The part of Vedic learning most closely associated with Rigveda and Atharvaveda is the ancient science of life known as Ayurveda. Panchamahabhuta (space, air, fire, water, and earth) and the tridosha- vata, pitta, and kapha are at their core. The Panchmahabhutas also manifest in the functioning of the five senses of humans which are related to hearing, touch, vision, taste and smell, respectively. Ayurveda regards the human body and its sensory experiences as manifestations of universal energy expressed in the five basic elements. The understanding of these concepts aims to help us bring our body into perfect harmony with its conscious mind. The outside world shapes children?s development through experiences that they have, which include using their five senses— hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch. Drawing a child?s attention to the five senses and discussing them increases understanding of and communication about the world around us. The paper explores the significance of early childhood development and offers suggestions for improving it using the Panchamahabhuta principles, which are apparent in the way a child's senses function. The paper will derive the importance of using sensory activities to refine their thresholds for different sensory information, helping their brain to create stronger connections to sensory information. The activities are intended to help children learn increasingly difficult material more successfully and to assist their cognitive, linguistic, gross motor, social, and problem-solving development.
