What’s in The Mystery Box? Just reach in and find out! Our durable box has large hand openings at both ends covered by soft vinyl, so kids can feel, match and compare the objects inside by touch alone. And as children explore, they increase tactile awareness, vocabulary, memory and communication skills! 6" x 8" x 10 3/4" hardwood box has a spacious interior, so little hands can even work together. Objects sold separately as our Touch & Match Guessing Game.

My little learners love this!

This is such a fun way to explore the senses. My prek and preschool children love to try and find the items--and explore using their hands. The items themselves have held up over many classes. They are well made. I highly recommend this product.

Great way to add engagement

This box seems simple but is a great way to add engagement to a variety of lessons or games. You can throw toys, letter, numbers, a variety of objects in that students can pull out to match, examine or describe. Great product for any SPED classroom.

Fun addition!

This game is such a fun addition to our language arts/table toy center. There are so many different ways the children can play with this game. We purchased for our 3yr old-school age classes and they all enjoy it.

This is a good language activity that can be accommodated for individual, small-group, and whole-class instruction. The visuals and objects allow it to be accommodated to a variety of communication levels and ages of development. I would recommend this and the accompanying items/picture cards.

Promote Vocabulary

Excellent way to encourage the use of communication by using descriptive vocabulary and chsllenge students to use their senses. My classroom is a language based class for developmentaly delayed students. I use this all the time at circle to support the theme we are studying. The box is heavy for little hands. we have to work on not peaking and pulling the object out because there are openings on both sides.
