Touch & Match Board
Can you tell the difference between 12 different textures using only your sense of touch?
This tactile board encourages children to explore, compare, and describe a variety of textured surfaces. They can simply feel each one and talk about what it reminds them of, or challenge themselves to find the matching texture on the board, with or without a blindfold.
It's also a great opportunity to talk about whether we become better at recognising different textures when we can't rely on our sense of sight. A wonderful starting point for exploring the human senses together.
Suitable for one child or as a fun matching game for two players.
Winner of the Bronze Award at the 2008 Practical Pre-School Awards.
Dimensions: 22 x 17 x 3.5 cm (L x W x H)
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

With a clear set of rules, dice games, board games, and card games are clear and defined activities and present a welcome break from negotiation with others. Many children find it a welcome relief to delve into a game with clear rules as a contrast to wild and free play with their friends at school or kindergarten.
Besides, playing games lets your child practice other important skills as well - such as losing. We recommend not letting your child win the game every single time. Learning how to cope with disappointment in a safe setting together with you builds resilience in your child. After all, you will not be there to protect your child from defeat and disappointment later in life when they go out on their own.
