Learn texture words

I can touch safe smooth, bumpy, and fuzzy objects.

Let’s get started

Today we will explore learn texture words through play. Grown-ups can model it first; children can respond by pointing, moving, speaking, or drawing. There is no speed test.

Learn together

  1. Watch together: Touch safe smooth, bumpy, and fuzzy objects.
  2. Try it as a team: Use the word when talking to someone. Pause, repeat and let the child lead.
  3. Try once more in a new way: Listen to the word in a sentence. Celebrate the attempt, not perfect results.
