1. Touch-and-Feel Boxes

This is a great indoor game to focus kids on the sense of touch in a

world so focused on the sense of sight. Train their minds to associate
information other than just how the object looks. Start by putting
interesting objects into containers that a child must reach into and
identify by touch. Shoe boxes work well as they are usually readily
available, can be easily cut with scissors, and do not let light through.
Making the boxes is part of the fun – have the kids decorate them,
just make sure to cut out a child-sized hand hole on the side of the box
beforehand. Place an item in each box and have your kids take turns
guessing what the items are. Encourage questions and offer clues as
needed.
