Tactilizing - The Tactile Game

A tantalizingly tactile game for kids and adults alike. Hide the objects under a towel or in a bag, roll the dice, find and retrieve the correct objects by touch, and win the round.

There's usually a lot of sensory play for toddlers/kindergarten. But if you're a little older or an adult there is not much to find. So here's a game for those that are (maybe just a little bit) older. 

Setup

• One set of the three dice is needed

• All players need a pyramid, cube, star, ring, rod and square

• All players needs something like a small bag, towel or big sock to hide the items while searching for the correct items

Gameplay

1. One of the players rolls the dice (maybe the one with the smallest hands begins?)

2. All players try to be the first to identify and retrieve all the correct items by touch and without looking

3. The winner of the round gets a "touch token"

4. First to five tokens wins.

Dice

The top faces of the dice depicts the objects to get. If all three dice show blank faces. Congratulations! You get to roll again! 

Tokens

For an extra challenge, and to level the playing field a little, you could hide the won tokens with the objects. This will make it a little more difficult for the players that are ahead.

Printing

• No special materials needed, PLA is fine

• No supports needed

• I've printed the dice at 0.15mm layer height for more definition on the icons. 0.2 or 0.25 should be fine as well

• Placement and orientation as modeled

Not intended for small kids. Includes small parts. Choking hazard.
