Kleenex Box Challenge :: Textile Sensory Box

textile box
This is what I came up with for the Kleenex box challenge – a textile sensory box. There’s various types of {mostly} fabrics to engage the senses.  Included:  tulle, mesh, sequined fabric, linen, embroidered fabrics, silky pieces, felt, butterfly pattern, towel, bandana print, oriental patterns, foam, bubble wrap, and sandpaper.  These are all pieces of fabric I had around the house. I would like to add a piece of lace & a furry piece.  I expect my infants and toddlers especially will enjoy discovering this activity, pulling out fabrics and putting them back in the box. I can also see them being used in the doll house or with blocks.  This was a fun challenge!  **The actual box itself was covered in Contact Paper & decorated with shapes cut on the Silhouette.
