I personally like the Good Bad Boy’s or is that the Bad good Boy’s? I also like the guy’s that are themselves above all else and have a understanding of what being in a relationship means that it is a fifty fifty partnership, a guy that doesn’t want to change me into someone I’m not but loves me unconditionally, someone that can make me laugh but doesn’t mind if I cry on his shoulder too,A guy that is my best friend and that I can Communicate with about any thing and that we have mutual Respect for eacother and total trust. That’s the type of guy’s i like
It would be interesting to make 2 playdough balls…let one harden completely and keep one in a bag so it stays soft.
a dry sponge and a wet sponge. (Not a brand new dry sponge-one that has been used and has dried out on its own).
plastic “easter” eggs with a pom pom inside.
pencil and pencil shavings/crayon and crayon shavings (pencil shavings are a lot softer but keep them in a bag or a container and don’t let them sniff!)
There are great books that are full of textures. Check your local library. You can make a texture “board” as well.
Good luck.
Which of these objects is hard
soft: sponge, play dough, cloth, and a stuffed animal
hard: hard cover book, rock, wood, and walls
Bring like a ROCK and a Sponge.
Rock / feather
Glass or dish / cotton balls
Cell phone / chenille fabric
Millions of choices…
