What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
This set gives blind children twenty small textured squares, made up of ten matching pairs, to explore by touch. Each pillow or patch is roughly 2 to 3 inches across, so little hands can pick them up and compare them easily. Kids can match pairs, talk about how each one feels, and practice telling similar textures apart, and the included tip sheet suggests activities for matching, vocabulary, communication, and tactile discrimination. A cloth drawstring bag keeps the squares together, and the set is designed for Pre-K and up.
