Point out textures around the house. The carpet is fuzzy. The dog is furry. The couch is smooth because you spent thousands of dollars for leather even though you have a small child and a dog in the house.
Take a moment to illustrate textures while you walk down the block. The stop sign is hard. The cracked sidewalk is sharp. The chewing gum stuck on the pavement is sticky.
Further your texture lessons in a variety of stores, such a supermarket. The apples are smooth. The bread is soft. The ground round is mushy.
Take texture-happy outings where your kid will have no choice but to absorb the lessons. These places include hands-on science museums, petting zoos and even fabric stores as long as you don’t wipe grimy paws all over the $5,000/yard silk.
