Cut a number of pieces of different kinds of cloth. Show them to the
child and have him feel of them and become acquainted with the pieces
so as to know them by name. Blindfold him and give him one of the
pieces of cloth and have him tell by feeling what kind it is. Put all
the pieces in the rag bag (any large bag will do). Blindfold the child
again and let him pick out the kind of cloth you name. See how many
he can get correctly. Have him choose velvet, silk, satin, calico,
muslin, broadcloth, etc., using all the common varieties of cloth.
Children need not be blindfolded if the bag is held so they cannot see.
Blindfolding increases the curiosity and thus the interest in the games.
