For this activity, cut a hole about the size of a child's fist in the side of a shoebox or use a cloth bag with a drawstring at the top. Place several items, such as plastic blocks or wooden beads, in the shoebox or bag. Encourage a child in the math center to reach inside without peeking and choose one item. Can he/she tell what shape the item is? What kinds of things can he/she feel that tells him/her what shape it is? Does it have corners? Sharp sides? Can he/she count the sides?
