Touch and Feel

Wrap a cardboard box in white paper, leaving a hole just big enough for the child's arm to fit inside.

Have the child decorate the box, personalizing it with pictures and decorations.

Once they have made it their own, place some objects inside, but don't tell or show the child what they are. For example. include a banana, book, pencil, stone etc.

Ask the child to put their hand inside the box and feel an object. Allow them sufficient amount of time to explore the object by feel, as this game encourages them to use other senses other than their sight.

Ask them to describe the item to you and name it before pulling it out to see if they are correct.

Ask them questions like, is the object smooth or rough? What shape is it? Is it hard or soft? What do you think it is? How do you know?
