Science
- The child learns about the concept of matter and its different states by observing and manipulating the kinetic sand.
- The child explores the property of texture as they feel the soft and moldable texture of the kinetic sand.

Encourage the child to explore different types of materials with various textures, such as playdough, clay, or even natural materials like sand and water. This will help them further understand and compare different textures and enhance their sensory development.
