Take off your shoes and socks and discover your home barefoot. When running barefoot, the natural movement is strengthened. The children experience special sensations barefoot and consciously perceive their feet. This idea is particularly suitable if you need to work quickly. In addition, the barefoot running motivates the children to look for more different materials. Finally, you can make a few sound shoes. Let yourself be inspired!
How does carpet feel? Is it soft and cuddly? Do you also have a thin carpet or one that is rather scratchy? Like a foot wiper?
How does a wooden floor feel? Parquet? Laminate? Cork? What are the differences to the carpet?
How do tiles feel? How long do you like to stand on them? If they are warm, you probably have underfloor heating. Maybe you have tiles without underfloor heating - maybe in the basement?
How does a fur feel? Or a cuddly blanket?
How does the toy carpet feel?
Like the mats for children? Here there are two different sides where one feels soft and the other feels rough.
What else do the children find for different materials that they can discover with their feet? Here, for example, how does the plastic laundry basket feel?
How does the blanket feel in bed?
How do the pillows feel? Maybe you have one with a pattern, a very cuddly and one e.g. made of linen?
How does the couch feel?
How about making a few sound shoes? For this you need two balloons and two bells. First put the bells in the balloons and then blow them up. Now you knot them up. Attach a thread to the knot. Thread it into a needle and stick it through the handkerchief box. Inside you knot the thread firmly.
Now you slip into the empty handkerchief boxes and can walk through the house.
Try out how running in the sound bowls feels barefoot. How does it feel with socks? How does it feel with shoes? What works best?
Have fun!
