Feely Boxes
(tissue box or other container)
You will need:
an old tissue box or other container for each child
one leg of dark colored panty-hose for each child
children's scissors
assorted 'things' to feel
(ie. fur scraps, rubber spider, a feather, some dry macaroni, wet spaghetti, an ice cube, etc.)
What to do:
pre-separate the legs from the panty hose for the children
encourage children to stretch the leg of hose over their tissue box or other container so that they cannot easily see inside
place one of the 'feely' items inside each box
(have messy ones in zip-loc bags)
label boxes and clean up
line boxes up on a table and encourage children to reach inside each box and try to determine by touch just what the object is!
