From Loose Parts by Lisa Daly and Miriam Beloglovsky, "Texture is a source of interest and information. It also denotes space and changes in areas of an object or environment" (38).
Book
Spiky, Slimy, Smooth: What is Texture? by Jane Brocket
Ideas for Loose Parts
Clay, stones, shells, pine cones, seed pods, acorns, feathers, sand, fabric samples, flooring samples, different papers and cardboardsInvitation
Put paper plates, glue, and small bits of different textured items on a table. Ask: I wonder which things are soft? Which are bumpy? What other words can you use to describe how things feel? (The idea here is that the kids will create a "texture wheel" full of different things to touch that they can take with them).
Options
Create touch boxes
If you have outdoor space, give kids small buckets or paper lunch bags and have them find different textured items from nature
