How to play

Feel and say walk6 to 9 months · about 5 minutes

You need: nothing at all.

Carry your baby around a room.
Take their hand to touch different things: a soft towel, a bumpy sweater, a cool window.
Say one word for each: "Soft. Bumpy. Cold."
Go back to their favorite and feel it again.

Builds: language and talking and thinking and problem solving. Each new texture comes with a word, building your baby's first vocabulary.
