About Soft or Hard?
Is a scarf soft, and is a hammer hard? Your child looks at one picture at a time and drags it to the teddy bear or to the rock. It turns what kids already know from touching things into a quick sorting game.
How to play
- Think about how the thing would feel in your hand.
- Tap the teddy bear or the rock, or drag the picture there.
- On a keyboard, press 1 or 2, or use the left and right arrows.
What your child practices
- Soft and hard
- How things feel
