Touch and feel shopping trip – turn your outing into a sensory sensation

What you need 

• A shop where you can browse and touch products 

What to do 

1. When you’re in a shop, invite your toddler to feel some of the products you’re looking at, or that you’re going to buy.  
2. Chat about the items as you look at and touch them together.
3. Try to use words which describe things your toddler can feel, see or smell so they link the sensation to the word and object.
