Crayon Rubbing Activity Concepts

In this video, Ron from Lake Shore introduces a fun activity to discover textures using crayon rubbings. Viewers will learn how to identify textures by touch and create rubbings using crayons and paper. The activity involves two main steps: finding textures around the house or outside and making rubbings, followed by a guessing game where participants identify the source of each texture. The video also suggests variations of the game and encourages creativity in discovering new ways to play. Additional resources are available on the Lakeshore Learning website.
