Moms are often recognized: "I don't know what to play with the child," I have little time for the preparation of games, "" The child is still small for the games, "" He plays not by the rules / wrong, "" I don't have so much money To buy new toys every day, "I am worrying that I don't have a little / badly with the child," "I don't have enough fantasy for games," "the child is not interesting games," "His toys do not develop" ... if such thoughts appear And you, then touch boxes - what you need!

Why do you need sensory boxes

The touch box is a container in which the materials and objects of different sizes and the textures are put on so that the child can play with them, studying the diversity of forms, materials and phenomena of the world. Mary Montessori, who invented their teacher, claimed: Children aged 3 months under 3 years mostly develop through sensory perception, that is, considering and feeling the world around. So why don't you give your child a maximum of information about the diversity of this world, "plunging" this world into sensory boxes that will help to reveal any topic.

Advantages of sensory boxes

They develop a small motorcy, affect the development of speech, progressive, concentration and attention, relax and help distract (both a child and mom, by the way);
Suitable for children from 6 months to 3 years and even older (for kids, the filling will simply consist of simpler large and safe parts);
combine development and game (for example, transporting sand in the truck, the child plays, while developing neatness in itself, etc.);
do not require large financial costs (often fabrics, cereals and different curious little things in mothers in the kitchen, in a sewing box or even a toilet table, and it remains only to choose a box);
Created quickly and easily (preparation of the touch box with pieces of different fabrics or small objects of one color takes no more than 5-10 minutes);
causes interest and takes a child for a long time (children love to go through the contents of the box, especially if they have not seen the materials before);
Do not have clear rules (you can give a child the opportunity to play with the contents at your discretion: to push, shift, to touch, hide the details of the contents of the box in each other, without fear that the child "plays not by the rules and everything breaks");
Give my mom to work for creativity (every mom can become a creator: make a box to your taste and show your talents: Self for a box, make something from paper or just lay out beautifully. In touch boxes, you can even create a whole world - city, zoo, volcano or fortress);
Help to train any topic (boxes are thematic, they can combine the objects of one orientation - "Autumn", "Circular", "Colors", "Figures", "Animals" - and study in a game form);
Suitable for your child (each mother can create a box, based on the interests of the baby at this stage of development);
Suitable for a group game (play with the child's friends or the whole family, folding together, turning over and studying the contents of the box);
Easily stored (if you take a box with a lid, the mess will not even cause small bulk materials).

Create a touch box

6? 9 months

We take small flasks fabric (velvet, sitherium, wool, fur, foam rubber, etc.), large elements with new sensations (brush, rubber ball with bursts, wooden cube), sound elements (bell, squeaker, rattle, musical toy) ... We put the components into a box with small sides, to a tray or a wide plastic plate. We combine on topics ("fabrics", "sounds", "forms", "colors") or put everything in a little.

9 months - 1 year 3 months

We take one kind of fine filler (peas, beans, pasta) and small elements (toys / figures, small cubes), put a spoon or blade. The baby will be interested to get the most interested in his toys from the cereals with her fingers, and by the year with a shovel or spoon.

1 year 3 months - 1 year 6 months

We take new types of bulk bases for the box (rice, sand, manka, hydrogel, water), add toys to a specific topic (animals, marine residents, fruits / vegetables), expand the circle of "tools" (sieve, spoons of different sizes).

1 year 6 months - 3 years

This age is the appaude use and creating sensory boxes!

show what exactly needs to be done with the contents;
change the contents of the box at least 1 time in 2 weeks;
Offer: Show or find some item, get a spoon or tongs, sort by a specific feature, dig and bury items, immerse and unload (for mini-transport games), to make, build or create (for example, cakes or sand houses , test), use blades, spoons, robber, sticks, tongs;
Giving a child freedom in the game (let it connect, picks up, destroys, pouring, sprinkles and disassembles or just touches and examines);
Remind: The contents of the box remains in the box during the game.

The child's mind is on the tips of his fingers. This means that the baby knows the world and develops speech through his fingers: he needs to touch everything, touch, try, pour.

How to play with a touch box?

Baby and without special adult tips usually quickly find a deal that is associated with this toy. Most sensory boxes are filled with something loose, and they can be played in the same way as in the sandbox: to move the filler from the container to the container, batch and refuse objects. By touching subjects of different textures, the child enriches his tactile experience. And the gaming scenes applicable to the touch box can be the most diverse. Thus, this toy can be called universal and necessary in any house where there are children.

How are touch box are relevant from?

The touch box can be offered to the baby who has already learned to sit on his own.

Touch box for children up to the year (from 6-8 months)

The sensory box for such crumbs should not contain small parts, as children under the year tormented to try everything on the teeth. How to fill the box? You can choose objects according to some kind of principle (only wooden, or only round, or one color). And you can on the contrary - it's a complete box of a variety of "interests": balls, flasks, rattles, soft animals, cubes. The main thing is that it did not have objects that the baby could swallow or hurt. The touch box itself should not be very large - for kids, quite a wicker basket, plastic bowl or shallow basin.

Krochi's interest The touch box will certainly cause a combination of a variety of items that can be taken with your fingers, shuffle, and some more of the sounds - to run, ring or at least knock - will not leave the child indifferent. The spoons and the scoops are not needed to him, quite enough fingers who will train while playing with the box.

As an option - make some touch boxes in those corners of your home where the baby often covers. The presence of a similar "treasury" in the kitchen will take a child for a while and will allow mom to do cooking or washing dishes.

1-2 years

For children of 1-2 years, which no longer drags everything in the mouth, you can make a touch box with smaller (although, desirable, still edible) filler: cereals, pasta, dough.

Of course, mom during the game should be near and control what is happening. Now for the game will be useful and "Tools": a large spoon, noise, scrolls, rakes and even tongs.

How to play? Children like to find items hidden in the filler of the touch box. Hide 10-12 toys and ask you to find them. Invite the kid to sort toys in color (red and yellow), size (large-small), texture (wooden-fabric) or shape (balls and cubes) in two containers (buckets, plates, jars). Does the child already get well done with his hands? Let it try to repeat using a spoon or noise! The most dexterous can be offered tongs, perfectly training fine motility. Together with the baby, thanks to the touch box, you can learn colors, forms, other properties of items. The touch box greatly develops coordination of movements and dexterity - for example, from a container filled with water, you can catch fish or other toys with a chick. Closer to 2 years old, children can already play the simplest games: to ride the typewriter along the laid in the cereals, cook "food" and feed the animal-inhabitants of the "farm", to plant toy plants.

Does your son love cars and all that is connected with them? Make a mini-car service or high-speed trace from the touch box. Daughter crazy about fairies? Then your option is a fabulous glade.

This game is rumored, invented. Although it seems to me that attentive parents somehow used it always. It turns out that it develops tactile sensations, fantasy, attention, perfection, coordination of movements. Most modern Early Development Methods A lot of attention is paid to small objects, feeling, the relief of bulk substances and other tactile games. And not in vain: the property of the psyche of a small child is such that he most of the information receives empirically, that is, through his own sensations. And more: part of the brain that is responsible for speech is closely connected with palms and fingers. This means that playing with croups and small objects, the baby will not only know the world, but also develops.

According to M. Montessori, the most important task aged from 0 to 3 years is sensory development. During this period, children explore the world with the help of various senses, and the main sources of information are vision and tactile perception. In order for the baby to actively develop, parents should create for the child such an environment in which he could receive a new and bright sensory experience. Make a developing environment at home even more enriched sensory boxes. How to fill the touch box for the kid? How to play with her? How old can you start similar games? We will reply to these and other questions in this article.

Sensory boxes are a container with different sensory filling (liquids, bulk materials, jelly, hubber, toys, etc.). This is an extremely useful and multifunctional toy for children of early and preschool age. The kid can feel small items, pour, hide them, come up with their plot. Games with a touch box help to develop fine motility, attention, imagination and child speech.

The touch box for the child is easy to make with their own hands with minimal material costs.

As the basis of this developing toy, you can take any capacity: box, container, pelvis, saucepan. The main thing is that the child is comfortable to play with it. Next, the container is filled with various materials (depending on the subject of the touch box and the age of the child). These are usually cereals, pasta, pebbles, natural materials, water, jelly, wool, etc. To make a little more interesting to the baby, put small toys and tools (blades and scopes) in the "box".

Games with a touch box can be started when the kid learns to sit. Fill the touch box for the crumbs is best large and non-harmful materials, such as cloth, ribbons, pomp, balls, sponges, cubes. You can also add it to various musical toys (bells, rattles) and something rustling (polyethylene, parchment paper).

If your baby is still small, use larger items as a sensor box as a filler and carefully follow the way it plays.

For children over a year and a half, you can use sensory boxes with croups. At an early age, interest in small objects is especially great. Your baby will gladly find the hidden items in the croup. In the future, they can be sorted by color or form. In addition, the game with a touch box can be a training of guns: the ability to keep a spoon, shocking and so on.

To make the filling of the sensor box brighter, at home you can paint rice. To do this, add a few drops of the food dye into the package with rice and 1 tablespoon of alcohol (it is necessary to fasten the paint, the alcohol will quickly evaporate). Tightly close the package and mix so that the paint is evenly spread by rice. Open package and wait until the cereals dry.

If you are learning the name of the colors with the child, color touch boxes can become a good help for classes. Fold into the container various items of the same color. Playing with such a single-color touch material, the kid will quickly remember the desired color.

The use of various tools and labor instruments allows you to diversify games with a touch box. Suggest the baby to play with a sieve and sink the gun. To be more interesting, hide into a crunch of small toys, pebbles or a larger croup. With the help of Sita, the child must separate them from the mankey. With the help of such a game you can quickly master the concepts of "big" and "small".

Non-delight in children cause sensory box filled with water. With the help of sieve and spoons, the baby can get floating and sinking items from water, to overflow water cups, and you can make a boat from the molds and other girlfriends. You can add a little paint into the water - it will be more fun to play and more fun.

For children of preschool age (over 3 years), thematic sensory boxes will be interested. With their help, the child will be in the game form to learn a new about the world around. Such games are very useful for the kid also because they greatly develop memory, attention, thinking and imagination. Here are some examples of thematic sensory boxes:

Conclusion

In the M. Montessori system, sensory education, that is, targeted improvement of sensory processes (primarily tactile, auditory, visual perception), is the basis for the development of the child's intellect. In the Children's Center "Constellation" organized a montessori environment, which includes everything necessary for the comprehensive development of the kid. Developing materials in the zone of sensory development are arranged in such a way that only one parameter changes in them. Due to this, the kids up to 3 years will easily master such concepts as color, shape and size. And in Montessori class for children from 3 years there are materials not only for the development, hearing, taste, smell and touch, but also to form a sense of weight and temperature differences. We are waiting for you in our center!
