Activities for Vision Development
Up to 80% of a child’s learning in school is visual. We have put together a list of activities to promote Vision Development:
1. Match and compare kitchen items such as cutlery, dishes and canned foods. This is a good visual comparison activity.
2. Compare pictures of furniture from books, magazines and flyers. Ask the child how two chairs are alike and how they are different.
3. Compare shapes, sizes, weight and texture of items in a room. If she makes obvious errors, ask her to go over to the object to check her visual judgment by touching or lifting the object.
4. Mystery bag: Put a familiar object in a bag and ask a child to put their hand in the bag to see if they can identify it from touch only. Ask him to describe (Size, shape, texture, material, parts, etc…)
