Sense of touch texure hand craft

English Language Arts

• The child practiced descriptive writing by using words to describe the different textures they felt while creating the hand craft.
• They developed their vocabulary by using words like smooth, rough, soft, and bumpy to describe the textures.
• They learned about sensory details and how to incorporate them into their writing.
• The activity encouraged creativity and imagination in storytelling as they made up stories about the textures they were feeling.

Science

• The child explored the sense of touch by using their hands to feel different textures.
• They learned about different materials and how they can have different textures.
• They developed their observation skills by noticing the differences in textures and describing them.
• They learned about the importance of tactile experiences in understanding the world around them.

Encourage continued development by exploring more textures and materials. You can create a sensory bin filled with different objects like sand, rice, feathers, fabric scraps, and more. Have the child close their eyes and use their hands to explore the textures. They can then describe what they feel and try to match the texture to objects they have encountered before. This activity can also be extended to other senses, such as smell and taste, by adding scented items or edible materials to the sensory bin.
