Give a toy model of a horse/elephant to visually challenged and sighted children. Let the visually challenged children feel by touching the toy model for some time. Ask the children to describe the model. Show the same toy model to sighted children. Compare their descriptions and find out their similarities and differences. Take another toy model (e.g., a parrot) and give it to a few visually challenged children to have a feel of it by touching. Then give a sheet of paper and a pencil and ask them to draw the parrot on the sheet. Show the same parrot to sighted children for some time, remove the parrot from their sight, and ask to draw the parrot on a sheet of paper. Compare the drawings of the visually challenged and sighted children and examine their similarities and differences.
