Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

This is a fun experiment that you can do with young children.  Get some brown paper bags, and put different objects in each bag.  Take the bag and have your child place his or her hand inside.  You can have the child try to guess what object is inside the bag.  This is a great experiment for developing their sense and recognition that each object has different properties and characteristics.  You can also develop your child’s vocabulary skills by having him or her come up with several words to describe what they feel.  For instance, if you put a stuffed animal in one bag, they can describe the feeling such as fluffy, soft, etc.  If you put a rock in one bag, they might describe it as smooth or rough, cold, depending upon the shape of the object.
