What the child does

Thermic Tablets in a child's hands

Thermic Tablets train a sense children rarely practise on purpose: how warm or cool a surface feels under the fingertips. The tablets are made of different materials, so one draws heat from the hand faster than another, and the child pairs them by touch alone, usually with the eyes covered. The exercise sharpens the thermic sense, patience and precise words such as warmer, cooler and the same. For children from three years working in the sensorial area.

Sense of temperature

The child touches the tablets and feels which is warmer and which is cooler. This refines the sense of temperature.

Matching by touch

The child looks for each tablet's partner by temperature alone and may close their eyes. Attention goes to touch only.

From obvious to subtle

The tablets are used in sequence, from the clearest temperature differences to subtler ones. The child moves from easier to harder.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Carry the box to a table or mat and place it in the upper right corner of the workspace.

  1. 1Take the tablets out of the box one at a time and stack them mixed in the center.
  2. 2The child closes their eyes or covers them with a cloth. Hold the top tablet against a cheek.
  3. 3Hold a second tablet against the other cheek and compare the two.
  4. 4If they differ, set the second one to the right of the stack. A matching pair goes in the upper left.
  5. 5Return unmatched tablets to the stack and repeat until all of them are in pairs.
  6. 6At the end the child opens their eyes and checks whether the pairs really match. Then they can try alone.
2 tips for parents
  • Start with the tablets that differ most to the touch, and add subtler differences step by step.
  • When you demonstrate, draw the child's attention to the closed eyes and to the tablet on the cheek.
