In and Out
- Collect several large boxes.
- Cut several holes in different shapes in each box.
- Let your child crawl in and out of the boxes. Be sure to use the words "in" and "out" as much as possible.
- While your child is in the box, let her explore the sides, top and bottom of the box. You can even put various textures on the sides. Use words like top, bottom, side, ceiling, above, over, below, under, beside, up, down, and middle when you appropriate.
- You can also cut doors (with flaps that really open and close). Then you can practice open and shut or close.
- You child may enjoy the different sounds she will hear inside the box. Let her have fun experimenting with her voice.
Senses used: proprioceptive, kinesthetic, haptic, vestibular, touch, hearing, vision, echolocation, object perception
