Fall Sensory Box

A Sensory Box is a great sensorial activity for your preschooler!

How to use a sensory box: The child places her hand in the opening of the box and feels an object. She must describe the object and guess what it is by touching but not looking.

Why use a sensory box: It helps children with their tactile perception. Also improves language skills by describing the object.

How to make a fall sensory box:

1. Take a shoe box and cut a hole just large enough for the child's hand.

2. Place nature objects in the box- acorns, leaves, pine cones, nuts, twigs, rocks

3. Have child place hand in the box and describe what she feels. Then ask her to take a guess on what the object is.

Your preschooler will love this game!
