By pressing and rubbing foil over hidden objects, they receive satisfying sensory feedback. It requires both hands to work together to keep the foil steady and reveal the 'treasure' underneath. This is a fun way to practice control over the small muscles in the fingers, which is helpful for handwriting and other daily tasks.
