Touch & Feel Box
The Touch & Feel Box is a tactile learning resource that encourages children to explore, describe and identify objects using their sense of touch without looking. By placing their hands through the openings and feeling the objects inside, children learn to describe textures, shapes, sizes and materials using descriptive language such as soft, rough, smooth, hard, large or small.
This sensory activity stimulates vocabulary development, spatial awareness and attention to detail, while promoting curiosity and confident communication. Objects can be added, changed or adapted freely, making the box flexible for a wide range of tactile games, guessing activities and group discussions. The Touch & Feel Box is a versatile sensory resource that supports language development and sensory exploration, making it ideal for classrooms, early‑learning centres and therapy settings.
Measures 36 x 20 x 35cm. Ages 3yrs+.
