Whats Inside? Soft Feely Box
Ages: 2 and up
This is a toy that is meant to help children pay attention to their senses. One person (probably an adult, at least at first) hides something (either one of the little objects that comes with it, or another small object from your own house) inside the box. The other player then has to stick their hand into the opening on the side of the box and, using only their sense of touch, try to guess what the object is.
For beginning players, or players with limited speech ability, what I would do would be to print out choice cards with pictures of the possible items. The child could then choose the picture that they think matches the object in the box. You could start out by just offering the child two choices (the correct item and a second item) and then making it harder by adding more and more choices.
Because of the fact that you can add your own small objects, the opportunities for this game are endless! I have seen this used a lot by speech pathologists, and it is always a big hit with kids.
