Sticky Texture Treasure Hunt

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's create our sticky surface. Take a piece of masking tape and make a sticky-side-up circle on the paper plate. Show your child how the tape feels sticky. Say, 'Look, this tape is sticky! It can hold things.'

2. 2

   Now let's find our first texture treasure! Choose something soft like a cotton ball. Show your child how to press it onto the sticky tape. Say, 'Watch how the cotton ball sticks to the tape!'

3. 3

   Let's try a different texture! Choose something bumpy like dry pasta or crinkled paper. Ask your child, 'Can you make this bumpy treasure stick too?'

4. 4

   Now let's make our own joining material! If you have a glue stick, show your child how to make a glue circle on the plate. Say, 'We're making our own sticky spot! Now choose another treasure to stick here.'
