Nature Touch & Feel
In Nature Touch & Feel, babies and toddlers discover nature through their sense of touch. Children will explore a sensory basket filled with safe natural materials and experience different textures, shapes and sizes. They can touch, hold and investigate materials while discovering simple differences such as rough and smooth or big and small. Through hands-on sensory play, movement and simple language, children are encouraged to explore nature at their own pace while developing their senses, curiosity and fine motor skills.

What parents should know
This class is designed for children from 0–2 years old, and every child can explore at their own developmental level. Younger babies may mainly watch, touch and hold the materials with support, while older babies and toddlers may actively compare, investigate and choose the objects that interest them. Parents or caregivers are encouraged to stay close and explore together with their child. You can support their learning by describing what they are touching with simple words such as “soft,” “rough,” “smooth,” “big” and “small.” The focus is on sensory discovery rather than completing a specific task. Children are free to explore at their own pace in a safe, playful and age-appropriate environment.
