- Open a desktop publishing program and scroll through the set of design templates. Click the Programs option and double-click a booklet. It opens in your workspace.
- Click through the pages of the booklet, noting the preset placeholder text and images. Dedicate two pages of the booklet to each sense, which gives you 10 pages, plus a front and back cover; for printing purposes, booklets must be in page quantities of 4. Note the number of pages in the preset booklet at the bottom of the page. Pull down the Insert menu and click Page. Type the number of pages to add and click After current page, then click OK. The rest of the pages are added to the booklet.
- Click the first page spread, which is pages two and three. Click your cursor into the preset placeholder headline on the page and type Smell. Highlight the text and use the text toolbar at the top of the page to change the font, size and color of the headline.
- Click your cursor into the text boxes on the page, which all highlight automatically. Begin typing information on the sense of smell, such as how it is affected by having a cold, being male or female and how it can warn the body of possible danger. Right-click a placeholder graphic on the page and select Change Picture. Choose From File and browse to a location on your computer of a close-up of your child's face or nose. If you don't have an image to use, select Clip Art and type nose or smell into the text box. Scroll through the images and double-click a graphic for it to APPEAR on the booklet pages. Repeat to add more images across the pages alongside the text.
- Click to pages four and five and change the header to Sight. Type DIRECTLY over the placeholder text boxes with information on eye color, needing glasses, how the eye reflects light, color blindness and why it is so important to protect your eyes. Replace images with close-ups of your family's eyes or clip art of glasses.
- Move to pages six and seven and replace the header with Touch. Include a list of different textures such as satin, SANDPAPER, gravel, cotton and pudding, leaving room underneath each for your kids to write down how those textures feel on their skin. Add information on how touch, such as the instant jerking of your hand off a hot stove, can alert a person to a DANGEROUS situation. Include clip art of hands, people hugging or photos of your children's toys with different textures such as a stuffed animal, dump truck and building blocks.
- Click to pages eight and nine and replace the page header with Taste. Type lists of your children's favorite foods and in the next column, the phrases sweet, bitter, salty and sour. Ask them to match the phrases with the foods and see how many of each type of taste they prefer. Explain the two sizes of the taste buds and the functioning of the tongue. Include photos of your children eating their favorite foods or sticking out their tongues.
- Click pages ten and eleven and type HEARING for the header. Explain how ears are able to pick up thousands of different frequencies, but the bones of the ear must be protected since they're the smallest in the body. Type a list of your children's favorite songs and leave room for them to write what the music sounds like to them. Add images of ears or clip art of music notes.
- Click the front cover/page one of the booklet and replace the placeholder text with The Five Senses or a title of your preferences. Add your name or family's name and any image, such as a family group photo.
