All the various ways in which we can process information should be developed from an early age. This fun game isolates the sense of touch through the use of blindfolds, placing all the emphasis on tactile development. To fill their puzzle, children need to recognise the attributes of each shape by feeling the edges, or they can select the pieces by feeling the different textures. Whilst doing this they are creating mental imagery of different shapes, building important cognitive and language skills and learning to imagine why a person with impaired vision might need to improve and heighten their other senses to compensate for any loss.
Games are designed to promote learning through play. All wooden game boards, puzzles and pieces are designed to withstand usage under normal conditions. Games help children to learn interactively. Children are working together, taking turns, sharing and understanding diverse concepts such as shape, colour and sequence. Children socially interacting with their piers to achieve an outcome is a fantastic learning experience and are also fun to play.
