How to try it

Lay out a towel, a bath mat, a rug, and a smooth patch of floor in a row. Hold your toddler's hand and walk over each, naming how it feels: soft, bumpy, cool. Walk back in the other direction.

Materials

  • Towel
  • Bath mat
  • Rug

Safety note

Tape or anchor mats so they do not slide, and keep a hand free to steady your toddler.
