Sensory Auditing & Material Textures

Exploration & Early Science Inquiry

Your child actively investigates the physical properties of their environment using sight, touch, and sound, identifying what is soft, hard, wet, dry, cold, or warm.

In real life

Hands deep in the mud, your child announces, "Squishy!" Then they find a stone, tap it, and say, "This one's hard."
