This study addresses the issue in current children's English picture book teaching, which typically relies solely on audiovisual sensory experiences while neglecting the influence of aesthetic education. Targeting young children aged 3 to 8, it proposes a multi-sensory teaching method that integrates five senses and aesthetic cultivation. This method is based on Piaget's cognitive development theory, multiple intelligence theory, and the concept of aesthetic education. It constructs a four-step teaching pathway: sensory awakening, situational experience, cognitive construction, and aesthetic elevation. By collaboratively engaging visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory senses, it organically integrates language learning with aesthetic education. Practical results indicate that this method effectively enhances children's language expression abilities, sensory coordination, and aesthetic creativity, with its feasibility and effectiveness validated through teaching cases. Future efforts should focus on expanding the sample range, optimizing technical support, and promoting the development of personalized teaching.
