Why it helps
This activity gives the child an opportunity to explore a variety of tactile media and develop his/her stereognosis sense.
Fill up a large container or a bucket with beans, rice, macaroni, sand, or birdseeds (you can mix a few media together if you wish to).
Let the child put his/her hands in the container and pour, sift or move the media from side to side.
If birdseed sticks to your child’s palms, brush it off over the bin. Skip powders, since loose powder near a child’s face can be breathed in.
Mixing small plastic shapes, plastic letters and numbers, small plastic animals and any other educationally related items in the media can be a fun way for the child to develop his/her stereognosis sense.
