Tactile Container

A 4-year-old girl searches for hidden coins in a tactile sensory bin filled with rice and lentils during a home-based occupational therapy activity.

Fill up the plastic container with beans, rice, or sand.

Add coins or beads to the container and mix with the selected container contents.

Ask the child to use his hands and pull out the different objects you hid inside the container.

To grade this activity, you can hide a variety of items in the container and ask the child to sort the items and put them in separate smaller containers.
