Texture boards

texture boards are dead easy to make and babies and children have a lot of fun playing with them.
For joshua I used to have a texture box, full of lots of different materials. I also made a texture glove (sorry I dont have a photo), for me to wear and put a different textured material on each finger of the glove. This was really good when he had tiny fingers!!

anyway here I have selected a few of my favourites that I have seen on the blogs I read
