Synopsis: There are many fun, easy and creative ways to help your children interact with their environment. What I offer in this article are a few examples of concept development. When teaching concepts to children who are visually impaired, we need to teach the child to approach their environment actively and make the activities we are presenting interesting and meaningful from their viewpoint. There are times when concepts cannot be taught using real objects. Sometimes an object is too delicate, too big, or too dangerous to be explored tactually. The use of models is appropriate in these situations as long as the child is made aware that what he is exploring is representation of the real thing.
