Experimenting, exploring, creating and communicating through the activity is more important than expecting the children to achieve an end goal - for example, finding the buried items on time in Treasure Pots.
Texture Mat
* Chose a variety of fabrics like those shown in the photograph.
* Fabrics do not need to be the same size or shape.
* Ensure you select different textures and colours.
* Place all the small mats in a box or basket for your children to explore.
* Sit beside a child and choose a few pieces. Place them side by side, touch each piece and describe it. Invite the child to join in.
