We can learn a lot about the world around us by looking at and touching different things. Let’s find out how!
Our eyes help us see the shape, size, and color of things. For example, think about a rubber ball. It might be round, small, and bright blue. By looking at these details, we can tell one thing from another.
We can also use our hands to feel things. This helps us learn about texture, which is how something feels when we touch it. Try touching different things around you. Some might be hard, like a Lego brick, and others might be soft, like a pillow. Some things are smooth, like a piece of paper, and others are rough, like sandpaper.
We use all our senses to learn about the properties of objects. Look around you now—what can you see and feel? How would you describe the things you find?
Try this fun activity: Close your eyes and ask someone to give you an object. Feel it with your hands and guess what it is. Then open your eyes to see if you were right!
Learning about the world is fun when we use our senses. Keep exploring and discovering new things every day!
Texture Hunt: Go on a texture hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects that are smooth, rough, soft, and hard. Make a list or draw pictures of the objects you find. Share your findings with a friend or family member and describe how each object feels. Can you find something that feels different from anything else you’ve touched before?
Color and Shape Walk: Take a walk outside or in your classroom and look for objects of different colors and shapes. Try to find something that is round, square, and triangular. Look for objects that are red, blue, green, and yellow. Draw or color pictures of the objects you find and talk about how their colors and shapes make them unique.
Sensory Mystery Box: Create a mystery box by placing different objects inside a box or bag. Without looking, use your hands to feel each object and guess what it might be. After guessing, take the object out and see if you were right. Discuss what clues helped you make your guess. Did the texture, shape, or size give you a hint?

We learn about the world around us by paying attention to the properties of different objects. One way we do this is by using our eyes. Just by looking, we can identify the shape, size, and color of something. For example, a rubber ball might be round, small, and bright blue. These visual cues help us distinguish between different items.
However, we don’t rely solely on our vision; we can also use our hands to feel objects. This is how we learn about an object’s texture. Texture refers to how something feels when we touch it. Try feeling different objects around you. Some may be hard, like a Lego brick, while others could be soft, like a pillow. Textures can indicate whether something is smooth or rough; for instance, a piece of paper is smooth, while sandpaper is rough.
There are many more properties of objects, and we use all our senses to learn about them. Look at the things around you now—how can you describe them?
