CREATIVE HIGHLIGHT
Tactile Project.
Young children love to explore through
touch, and in fact this is one of the prominent
ways little ones learn about the world and
find comfort. Therefore, this activity is
particularly beneficial to younger children.
To facilitate this project, you’ll need glue,
cardstock paper or cardboard, and various
pre-cut fabrics such as cotton, felt, velvet,
silk, etc. Ask your child to explore the fabrics,
paying attention to the fabrics that feel good
and to the fabrics that feel bad to them. Allow
her to take her time selecting the pieces she
wants to display on the cardboard. Explain
that she will create a collage on the cardboard
of her favorite materials, building it up as
much as she likes to create a soft sculpture.
