Troubleshooting

Texture feels too faint

Ensure the child is focusing on the tactile sensation. For some, it may take practice to discern subtle textures. You can enhance the experience by talking about the animal and its natural habitat.

Plates are dirty

Wipe the plates gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Do not submerge in water.

Child is not engaging with the textures

Try a different approach. Use the picture side first to identify the animal, then introduce the texture. Pair the texture with sounds or movements related to the animal to make it more engaging.
