How Montessori program help to develop Tactile

Sense:
In Montessori program, materials such as the Rough and Smooth (Touch) Boards,
Touch Tablets, and Fabric Box are some of the first touch materials that child will
use. Look for fabric, wood, different grades of sandpaper, different types of paper,
and other materials that help your child learn about the language and explore the
experience of touch. Exploring Textures: Touch Tablets: Materials: One box having
five pairs of wooden tablets with gradations of roughness. A blindfold. Procedure:
Take out two to three pairs with greater contrast and put it on the table. Mix them
and then pick one tablet at a time feel it in hand, lightly stroke it and then put aside.
Tell the child I am going to find the one which is just like this. Find the other
tablet and put it with previous one. Allow child to feel the similarity. Repeat this
exercise with all the rest tablets. Now again repeat this exercise while using
blindfold. Now again mix the tablets and allow child to do this himself. Here child
learn a tactile sense to differentiate between rough and smooth. The blindfold will
help the child to focus on his attention upon one sense. Children learn the
vocabulary by three period-lesson. Vocabulary: rough and roughest. Exploring
Temperature: Heating Bottles: Materials: Four pairs of metal containers, each pair
containing water at various temperatures. Bottle Pair 1: 37(Room temperature),
Bottle Pair 2: 27(tap water), Bottle Pair 3: 17(Refrigerated water), Bottle Pair
4: 47(warm water), Cool refrigerator water, tap water. Procedure: Take out first
set of bottles have the child feel the bottles one at a time. Tell the child that. I am
finding the bottle which has the same temperature. Put bottles in a line and let the
child take the bottles and feel it. Repeat with second set, third and fourth. Mix
them and line up and let the child do it by. Here child learn a tactile sense to
differentiate between different temperatures. Children learn the vocabulary by
three period-lesson. Vocabulary: Hot and cold. Directress plays five memory
games with the child. Exploring Weight: Baric Tablets: Materials: Three separate
boxes having six to eight wooden tablets. Each set is a different weight, color and
wood from each other. Tablets are however same in shape and size. A blindfold.
Procedure: Bring two boxes on table which contains heaviest and lightest tablets.
Directress shows the child how to hold the tablet in palm of a hand. Feel the
heaviest tablet and also let the child to feel it. After that child can handle the tablet

himself. Now again repeat this exercise while using blindfold. Here child learn a
tactile sense to differentiate between the weights and later on for mathematics. The
blindfold will help the child to focus on his attention upon one sense. Children
learn the vocabulary by three period-lesson. Vocabulary: Heaviest and lightest.
