Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities.

Procedure: 
  1. Begin the activity by going on a nature walk with the child. As you are exploring outside, encourage the child to touch various plants, flowers, grasses, etc.
  2. Bring the items you touched inside with you and wash them. When they are dry, hot glue them onto the poster board. Label the items with a black marker.
  3. Lay the board in an appropriate area and invite the child to feel the different textures with you again. As they are exploring, talk with the child and introduce new and related vocabulary.
Assessment:  Observe and record the child during the activity. How did they react to the various textures? Did they attempt to repeat any of the vocabulary words you presented? Take pictures throughout the activity, including the nature walk. You can put these photographs in their portfolios as documentation and/or send them home to show families what happened that day. ​
