3D Feel & Find By GuideCraft 40 piece set

Guidecraft G6708 3D Feel & Find World Icons

A lot of kids with autism have difficulty learning words for senses. 3D Feel and Find by Guide Craft is a great toy for those who have problems with the senses, particularly the touch sense.

A Sensory Integration Game for People with Autism

Feel and Find comes with twenty multi-colored wooden blocks that are shapes, people, or animals as well as the wooden panels that match them. With Feel and Find, the multi-colored blocks are put in a bag and your child pulls out one of the shapes and matches it with a wooden shape.
Being able to identify a shape by the feel rather than by sight of it will help your child learn and memorize what they are.

4nother great toy to use for sensory integration is Melissa and Doug’s sandwich stacking game.

This can be played alone or with a partner. The game comes with twenty cards and fourteen sandwich fillings along with four slices of bread. The bread is designed to be used as gloves, but they don’t have to be worn if the child doesn’t want to.

The child looks at a card that has a sandwich designed on it and then uses the picture on the card to design a sandwich of his or her own. The child can design the sandwiches on his own or two children can race each other to get their sandwich done first.

Do you think that using touch and sight can help your child identify things easier? I know it helped with my daughter and it helps me too!
