FEEL THE WEALTH - NEUROBICS, BRAIN TRAINING 3

Fill a cup with different coins and while doing another activity, reach into the cup without looking and pick up a coin. By touch alone determine what each coin is and place them in stacks. You can also do this in the car – and even put them in your coin holder if you have one.
This works well with other small objects too.

You can use items of slightly different sizes and different textures such as nuts, screws, paper clips, washers, candy, jewelry etc. You can also use small squares of sandpapers, leather, satin or other textures.
Using touch instead of vision exercises our textile discrimination. Distinguishing these subtle differences increases cortical activation and gives us stronger synapsis.
