◇ FAMILY MYSTERY TOUCH BAG
A grown-up puts five safe things in a bag. Try a cotton ball, spoon, sponge, leaf and apple. Take turns reaching in without looking. Feel one thing. Say how it feels. Guess what it is. Then pull it out to check.
Safety first
A grown-up picks every object. Nothing sharp, hot or breakable goes in the bag. Nothing goes in your mouth.
For a grown-up
Ask: which word told you the most? Ask: which thing was hardest to guess? Celebrate every guess, right or wrong.
