• Seal the bag with the string and shake to mix the blocks
• Then, provide any one shape block to the child and ask him/her to identify the same block amongst the 5‚ blocks kept inside the bag by only touching and feeling the blocks inside the bag
• Repeat for the four‚ remaining blocks outside the bag
