To Touch is to Feel!!!!!!

     One of my all time favorite days to spend with children is the day you talk about the sense of Touch.
     I love to create surprises, and one fun and exciting way to do this is finding a shoe box and then taping the lid to it.  Then cut one end of the box off for your hand and the other end cut a round hole the size of a child's hand in it.  Then take a piece of cloth and cut it to the size of the round hole and cover the opening of it.  Then tell the children it is a magic touch box and they cant look but they can stick their hand in the round end and FEEL what is inside and GUESS??????????????
     This is so so much fun to do especially at this time of year being HALLOWEEN ha ha.  Fun things you can put inside of the box.  I love the looks on the children's faces ha ha.  Sure to make you laugh as they let out gasps and shrills of fun.
     Another fun idea is to take brown paper lunch sacks and put a object in each one and fold the end over and staple it shut and pass them around for the children to hold and feel.  Then let them guess and then have them each open the bag and see if they were right.

     For a fun idea to send home with them is to make each child a GRAB BAG!  I know for some you don't even know what a GRAB BAG is but for some of us, it was the high light of our lives growing up.  I remember getting them at the carnivals and paying 25 cents lol.  Always such a fun surprise inside.  My children could hardly wait to head to the State fair to go to the booth to pick out just the right one for them for $1.00 each lol.  So much fun.  But it will be a treat they will never forget.

     If you have time, it is great fun to let them make and touch and feel book to take home.  Use sand paper and extra fabric.  Anything for them to glue on a page and draw a animal around it.  So so much fun and they can share it with their own family after.  Don't forget to READ to them and nothing is better then touch and feel books.  There are so many fun books to read to them.

     For a treat I love to make what I call a GRANDMAS CREATURE COOKIE that not only they will love to feel but the taste will be even more amazing!!!!!!!!  Besides there is nothing that compares to a HOMEMADE GRANDMAS COOKIE...................................
