Materials

large bucket or plastic container with large opening

assorted materials (spools, clothespins, bottle tops, large pegs)

Instructions

1. Cut a hole in the top of the box large enough so the child's hand can fit
through, but not so big that they can see into the box.
2. Place various objects inside the box.
3. Invite a child to reach in and try to guess what he is feeling. Encourage
the children to use descriptive language to describe what they are
feeling (soft, hard, squishy, sticky).
