Homeschool Helper with Charisse Van Horn

 Here is a great project that will help children determine the different types of properties that are inherent in objects.  Place a variety of different objects on a table and let children hold and examine each one.  It doesn’t matter how old your child is as long as he or she is able to speak you can perform this activity.  Ask the child to describe how the object feels, looks, etc.  While you engage the child in discussion, he or she will be developing awareness that different objects have different properties.  It doesn’t matter whether or not your child can describe the object accurately; just engage in conversation with your child, describing the different aspects of each item.
