Texture Matching Sliding Game

The Texture Matching Sliding Game by Andre Toys is a dynamic and tactile educational tool designed to promote logical reasoning, motor development, and sensory perception in children aged 3 years and up. Crafted from durable materials, this engaging game challenges players to match textured pieces through touch alone - without relying on visual input.

Children begin by placing the textured tiles into any of the 9 designated positions on the board. Using the hand-held sliding pivots, they then explore and match textures solely through sensory feedback, navigating the board to find corresponding textures. For an alternative version of the game, the tiles can be flipped over and used for colour matching, offering visual engagement and added variety.

This inclusive game supports the development of hand-eye coordination, discrimination through touch, and concentration, while offering a fun and meaningful activity for individual or group learning. The unique sliding mechanism encourages focused, goal-oriented play, making it a valuable addition to any early years classroom or therapy setting.
