Nowadays, it is no longer a secret for most parents that development tactile A child’s sensations are directly related to the development of speech and intelligence. Baby gets some tactile sensations in the process of learning about the world. However, you can help your child achieve more high level development of feelings, expand and organize his experience. Games with tactile materials. I created didactic ones at home benefits: sensory/ tactile cards are cards for children with tactile elements.

Develops the child's sensory perception tactile memory, fine motor skills fingers, and as a result have a beneficial effect on the baby’s mental potential.

By playing with them, the baby gets acquainted with the features of the world around him, his understanding of the properties of objects expands and his vocabulary increases.

Sensory (or tactile) cards can be used in games and activities with children of different ages- starting from about 8 months, when they are already confidently sitting on their own, and up to 7-8 years.

What are sensory sensors for? cards?

Not just an interesting game; They develop motor skills, visual perception, attention, memory, perseverance, intuition, and help the baby become familiar with the properties of different objects and surfaces.

For the youngest children sensory cards are an excellent educational tool. The effect of various textures on the baby’s fingers is in itself beneficial for his sensory, and in addition, thanks to the mother’s explanations, the baby learns that this smooth surface- silk, soft and fluffy - cotton wool, and rough is called sandpaper.

Older children thanks tactile cards replenish their active vocabulary with many new ones adjectives: soft, hard, smooth, silky, convex, rough.

Basis for the tactile cards I have are cardboard. You can use old, unnecessary carton boxes or buy cardboard specially.

What to stick on cardboard? Materials for creating your own "author's" tactile cards may be the most diverse: any fabrics; yarn, satin ribbon, braid; cotton wool, synthetic winterizer; velvet paper; sandpaper; corrugated cardboard; regular foil; feathers; shells, pebbles, toothpicks; paper clips; buttons; pasta, peas, beans, ... To keep the parts firmly in place, I used a glue gun.

How to play with cards? You can look at it together with your baby cards, while pronouncing your feelings from touching them - smooth, large, small, shiny, rough, soft, etc.

The next game is suitable for those children who are already comfortable with blindfolding. Lay out a row cards, offer to touch and remember them. Then blindfold the baby, replace one of the cards and ask them to guess, what has changed.

Keep cards in a colorfully decorated shoe box.

Safety. Remember that many objects can be potentially dangerous, especially for children who put everything in their mouth. Never leave your baby alone with cards! Be extremely careful and careful!

I don’t know how long ago they came up with the idea of making cards with buttons for counting by touch. Since the first time I used cards with my children.

Master Class. Manufacturing didactic game"Tactile caps" I would like to present to you a master class on how I made a didactic one.

I offer an interesting and unusual way of making tactile bags. It's easy and very simple, even children can handle the task. That's why.

After choosing for a long time between tactile boards and tactile covers for the child, I decided to go with the second option.

And as it turns out, you can come up with a huge number of educational games with such covers...

Why did it take me so long to choose between boards and lids?

The advantage of planks is that the tactile surface can be made quite large. These boards can be used to make tactile mats and walk on them barefoot or apply them to various parts of the body to enrich the child’s tactile experience.

The large size of the boards for some, like me, may also be a disadvantage: they need to be stored somewhere, which means tactile options will certainly be less.

To create my manual, I decided to use metal lids from Frutonyanya baby food.

What made me choose them:

availability: the required number of covers can be quickly assembled, because baby food"Frutonyanya" is given out at the dairy kitchen;
ready to use: the lids only need to be washed, no need to measure, draw, cut, etc.;
aesthetics: all the lids are smooth, the same size, with rounded edges, pleasant to the touch, which is difficult to achieve when making boards yourself;
relatively small size(the largest lids available): small enough for compact storage and large enough for tactile perception.

In addition to the covers, to create the manual I needed glue gun And A large number of materials of different colors, weights and textures that I collected for more than a year while I thought about everything.

It can be:

Various types of paper, cardboard, cellophane, sponge, foam plastic, etc.,

Buttons, shells, beads, beads, matches, sticks, stones, figurines made of glass and other materials,

Seeds, nuts, sunflower seeds, cereals, pasta...

And the manufacturing process itself tactile covers very fast!

From cardboard I cut a circle of sufficient diameter to exactly fit the inside size of the lid. Then I used it as a stencil for cutting out circles from various materials.

The eldest son himself made several tactile covers as a gift for the youngest for his second birthday: for him it is an opportunity to express himself, to feel his importance and involvement, and also to practice his motor skills, for me it is an opportunity to photograph the process.

The glue in the gun heats up in a matter of minutes. However, it is not very hot: the temperature of the adhesive composition is 110 degrees. After squeezing out, the glue quickly cools and hardens, so it cannot get burned if it gets on the skin (neither my son nor I succeeded ;-)).

We lubricated the part to be glued with glue and quickly pressed it to the lid. Within 1-2 minutes the glue will harden and you can play with the lids!

The youngest son literally “took” them out of my hands.

When we first met, he kept some for himself, and put some aside - he didn’t like them!

Then my two-year-old son came up with a game, which was then repeated over and over again when I gave my son the lids:

the son turned over all the covers one by one with the tactile surface down, and then up again.

He always feels each lid with his fingers.

Examines the tactile surface.

And can be applied to lips, cheeks...

The six-year-old son could not stay away from new toy brother, took some of the lids for himself and arranged them, guided by his own principles.

Small quantities of tactile lids can be conveniently stored in chip jars. If desired, for younger children you can make a rectangular slot in the lid, then the children will lower the lids into the jar as if into a piggy bank.

When I had enough lids for three full jars, I decided to put them in a box, which turned out to be very convenient.

The entire top row with pairs of identical covers. Medium - with pairs of similar lids based on some characteristic. Bottom row with covers in one copy.

OPTIONS FOR NOT ONLY TACTILE GAMES WITH TACTILE COVERS:
1. Find the exact pair of caps (with eyes open or closed).

2. Find a logical pair of caps.

3. Feel the lid and describe your sensations in words. Selecting the right word (rounded, ribbed, soft, etc.) expands your vocabulary.

4. For one lid, try to select as many corresponding adjectives as possible that describe tactile sensations, or nouns that may be similar to the touch (author Natalia Sukhoruchenkova, based on the books by I.Yu. Matyugin).

5. Feel the lid and find a pair of available pictures or objects for it (author Natalia Sukhoruchenkova, based on the books by I.Yu. Matyugin).

Then the selected objects/pictures can be removed and the child can be invited to remember the pairs by feeling the covers.

I took the items for this version of the game from another of my "Miracle Boxes".

6. Find a couple of lids that can be described with synonymous words.

7. Find a couple of lids that can be described with antonym words.

Game option: “big-small” concepts.

8. Make a sequence of lids from the most pleasant to the touch to the most unpleasant and explain your choice (author Natalia Sukhoruchenkova, based on the books by I.Yu. Matyugin).

8. Tactile memory(with eyes open or closed).

Option: tactile geometric memory.

9. Making patterns, mandalas.

10. Compiling a sequence in which each subsequent lid is similar to/different from the previous one in one or more ways (with eyes open or closed).

11. Visual memory according to Shichida: a quick display of one lid, which then needs to be found among two or more similar ones.

Our kids will learn the world all senses, and one of the important directions child development is familiarity with various tactile sensations. Sensory (or tactile) cards can be used in games and activities with children of all ages - starting from about 8 months, when they are already confidently sitting on their own, and up to 7-8 years.

What are touch cards used for?

Tactile cards are not just an interesting game; They develop motor skills, visual perception, attention, memory, perseverance, intuition, and help the baby become familiar with the properties of different objects and surfaces.

For the youngest children, sensory cards are an excellent educational tool. The effect of various textures on the baby’s fingers in itself is useful for his sensory, and in addition, thanks to the mother’s explanations, the baby learns that this smooth surface is silk, soft and fluffy is cotton wool, and the rough one is called sandpaper. Small cards It is convenient for small hands to hold, and all children, without exception, like to take out, lay out and sort through these “benefits”.

Thanks to tactile cards, older children replenish their active vocabulary with many new adjectives: soft, hard, smooth, silky, convex, rough. For players 4-7 years old, with cards you can come up with many interesting games that develop memory and attention.

The basis for tactile cards is usually cardboard. You can use old, unwanted cardboard boxes or buy cardboard specifically from an office supply store. In addition, felt can also serve as the basis for cards. The size of the cards is approximately 5x8 or 5x9 cm. Usually two identical sets are made for different games, for example, searching for cards that feel the same.

What to stick on cardboard? The materials for creating your “author’s” tactile cards can be very diverse:

any fabrics (silk, linen, velvet, raincoat fabric, fleece, knitwear, wool, batting, fabric with sequins, burlap and others);
leather, natural and artificial fur;
felt (you can stick it on cardboard or even use it as a base for sensory cards. In this case, make two sets of felt in different colors);
yarn, satin ribbon, braid;
cotton wool, synthetic winterizer;
velvet paper;
sandpaper;
corrugated cardboard;
Velcro or Velcro tape;
regular and thermal insulation foil;
scraps from rubber and household gloves;
feathers;
quartz sand (aquarium or colored from kits for children's creativity"Fresco"), shells, pebbles;
paraffin (you just need to carefully drip it from a burning candle);
matches, toothpicks;
wire, wires;
paper clips;
buttons (sewn to the card);
pasta, peas, beans, rice, pearl barley, buckwheat, semolina, millet;
sponges for washing dishes (divide the sponge into a hard and soft part and stick each on a separate card);
beads, beads, rhinestones;
walnut shells;
lids from baby food jars, pieces of bottle cap, can openers.

To keep the parts firmly in place, use superglue (for example, SuperMoment). Reliable adhesion of materials to cardboard is a prerequisite for the production of tactile cards. This is especially important for kids who love to try everything by tooth. Getting small things like pasta or beads into your mouth is a real danger if they are not glued firmly enough. Sand can be poured on top of regular PVA glue, fabric and fur can be secured with a stapler.

To make the cards look more fun, you can make them multi-colored. This will come in handy, for example, when spending “color weeks” with your child.

It is better to cover the edges of tactile cards with tape or masking tape so that they wear out less over time.

The form of application of the tactile elements of the card can be any to your taste. You can stick them in the form of letters and numbers. If desired, you can even make a whole alphabet or a complete set of numbers from 0 to 9.

Games with tactile cards

From 8 months

The main goal of games with tactile cards for little ones is to create different sensory sensations, and not only for the baby's hands. Neuropsychologists also advise applying tactile cards to the cervical and lumbar region, to the cheeks, feet and heels of the baby.

From one and a half years

1.5-2 years - age of avalanche-like active growth vocabulary. With the help of tactile cards, you can learn with your child the names of colors, pasted materials, the names of the characteristics of surfaces and the sensations of touching them. You can teach the names of colors and textures, for example, by asking your child to find a pair for a card based on color.

Starting from the age of one and a half years, you can try playing the game “Third Wheel” with your baby. Place three cards in front of him, two of which will be the same, and one will be different in color or feel. Everything is clear with the background color, but examples of different textures can be velvet or glossy paper, fabric and beads of the same color. As the child grows up, the number of cards used in the game and their characteristics increases.

From two to two and a half years

WITH two year old you can group touch cards by color or other characteristics. If the child already speaks well, invite him to guess the material when he feels the offered card under the blanket.

Children over 2-2.5 years old are already conscious enough to play Memory with them. Tactile cards make this simple but beloved game even more interesting. Its rules are simple. Players take turns opening a pair of cards. If the same ones are found, they are removed, and the player has the right to one more move. If the cards are different, they are turned face down again, and the next player gets the right to move.

From three years old

1) With children 3 years old and older, you can arrange the cards from softest to hardest, from smoothest to roughest in feel.

2) You can also play a connecting game with your baby using tactile cards. Lay them out in two columns (start with 3 cards in each) and ask them to find pairs by color or material.

3) By making special tactile cards with two fields, you will add to your home board games great domino. Surely the children will really like it. And everyone knows the rules of this game.

4) Invite your child to lay out the same row as you did. Thanks to such games, the baby learns to act according to the model and develops attention. You can complicate the task: let the cards in the rows match only one attribute - color or texture. If he has selected suitable cards with the same materials, but different colors, ask him to close his eyes and make sure that the cards in the rows are identical by touch.

5) The next game is suitable for those children who are already comfortable with blindfolding. Lay out a row of cards, ask them to touch and remember them. Then blindfold your child, replace one of the cards and ask him to guess what has changed.

6) If you have made a set of cards with letters or numbers, to teach your child, you can ask him to guess the letter or number he felt with his eyes closed or under a blanket.

7) With children who are already good at expressing their thoughts through words, you can use sensory cards while listening to music. Ask your child to use a card to describe how the melody felt to him. Such tasks will develop his imagination and associative thinking.

8) Several people can take part in the next game. Choose one starting card, and divide the rest equally between the players. Now they have to compete - to lay out the longest track possible, with the condition that all adjacent cards must be connected to each other, i.e. have the same color or materials.

We hope that the proposed ideas for making and playing with tactile cards will help you make your child’s leisure time more colorful. We wish you an interesting and enjoyable time spent with your kids!

I like to introduce my baby to the world around him in many ways: if I tell him about fruits, then we roll them on the table, and do a fruit massage for little hands (after all, there are different perceptions, for example, of an orange or kiwi), and inhale their smell, feeling the magical aroma, and, of course, tasting it! And only then do I show a card with a picture of the hero of the day to correlate the image, accompanying all this with poems or songs about the fruit being studied. An example of a versatile lesson dedicated to getting to know autumn can be found in the article “

But what about the animal world? After all, not everyone has the opportunity to keep animals at home, especially large ones. I'm not even talking about animals from other continents.

Recently, while sorting out the materials of my student years, I came across what I thought was my “invention” at the time - tactile cards with inserts imitating animal fur and feathers. Yes Yes! Nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with a tactile book, but in those days...

Despite this, the prices for tactile books are, to put it mildly, steep, and not every family can afford such a gift for their child. But you can make tactile material yourself, from old pieces of fabric and fur.

How to make tactile cards with your own hands?

To create such cards, I printed images of animals on a printer, cutting out those elements where I would like to place the “fur”.

For example, for pandas I cut out the places where the ears and paw are. I glued three small pieces of fur onto the cardboard, and then placed a pattern on top (on glue), carefully straightening the fur over the holes.

Hen. In fact, this is where the whole idea began. Everything is simple here - I pasted a couple of feathers from an old pillow onto the image of a chicken. I think many people have such an arsenal.

Sheep. I pasted something like padding polyester onto this picture. Agree, it’s not a luxury either. Of course, it can’t be compared to natural sheepskin, but it will definitely convey the softness and fluffiness of this animal’s fur!

Cat. I used an old crumbling wallet that I played with as a child, made from pieces faux fur. The fur turned out to be just right: long pile, matching the color of my picture.

Leopard. Here I used an old rag hair tie that I used back in school years when such colors were considered fashionable! The fabric is soft and thin. It’s so nice to touch her with your hand!

Cow. For this picture I needed an old scarf. Its material resembles velvet, but is a little tougher.

Pig. For me it's just a piece of pink fabric. Ideally, of course, leather (or a substitute).

As you can see, there is nothing complicated about making tactile cards with your own hands! All you need is color pictures, pieces of materials and a good mood!

And how many tactile games you can play with them! For example, identify an animal with your eyes closed, or treat animals with treats, for example, small cookies. The latest game is great for development. The cards can be complicated with other tactile elements: stick grain in front of the chicken (any cereal will do), lay out a fence of ice cream sticks, hang a bell on the cow’s neck, etc. I’m sure this material will not leave your baby indifferent!
