Sensory Touch & Match Board

TickiT

This tactile matching board supports sensory exploration and early problem solving through hands-on play. Children are invited to feel, compare and match the 12 hardwood counters, each featuring a different textured surface, encouraging focus and careful observation. The activity can be used as a matching game or as a sensory experience, supporting the development of descriptive language as children talk about textures and differences. As they manipulate and place each counter, children strengthen fine motor skills while building reasoning and memory. The board measures 22 x 17 x 3.5cm, with counters sized at 35mm x 35mm, making them easy for small hands to handle. EYLF Learning Outcome Connections Outcome 3.2: Children develop coordination and control as they grasp, feel and place the counters. Outcome 4.2: Children develop a range of skills and processes such as problem solving and reasoning as they match and compare textures. Outcome 5.1: Children interact verbally and non-verbally with others as they describe textures and share observations.
