Put together a small bowl that has cotton balls, marshmallows, and beans (or similar items you have around your house) in it. Talk with your child about what they feel like: squishy, soft, sticky, smooth, etc. Then have your child sort the items by what they are.
For babies, you can use cotton balls and large marshmallows and have the baby feel each one before sorting them.
