Hard vs Soft Mystery Box

This little game is a great way to introduce your child to the words hard and soft or a fun way to revise the concepts. It is so simple to set up (took me 5 mins maximum) and you can use whatever you have around the house

You will need
A box with a opening in the top - A tissue box or Nappy Wipe container would be perfect
Toys / Objects that are hard
Toys / Objects that are soft

Place all the objects into the box and then invite your child to pull them out one by one and tell you if they are hard or soft ....

What is in the box?

Oo the elephant is Soft!

Mr Potato Heads nose is hard!

A soft feather that is good for tickling

Neevah then sorted the objects one pile for soft items and one pile for hard items

In our mystery box was a wooden peg, feather, knitted baby bootie, toy car, button, pom pom, soft toy elephant, wooden teddy bear, rock and Mr Potato Heads nose
