Tactile means related to the sense of touch.  Some kids learn really well through touch and this activity can help facilitate that!  This activity can help with developing kids’ problem solving skills. It can also help develop fine motor skills.

How to Make the Balloon Tactile Memory Game

To make this tactile memory game, all you need is a few balloons and some other household items.  You will be filling balloons with various things that feel different.
 

Some Things We Used to Fill the Balloons:

Rice
Flour
Cotton balls
Oats
Noodles
Dried beans
Wheat
Water

Since you are making a matching game, you will need to fill two balloons with each item so there is a matching pair.  I let my kids help me fill them, which was messy, but they liked it a lot!  A small funnel helped us fill the balloons.   You could also fill the without their help and see if they can guess what is in each one.

How to Play the Sensory Memory Game:

Mix up the balloons and give them to your kids. you could put them into a bowl of lay them out on a table. Let the kids squish each one of the balloons and see how they feel.  See if your kids can find the matching pair of balloons just with their sense of touch. You could also try it blind folded. This would make it a bit more challenging since some of the fillings would make the balloons look different.  This is a great sensory activity!
