I know one! They have them all around the walls at the blind school I used to attend for short-term programming. They were meant for kids who couldn't see where they were going to be able to feel where they were going.

You can take tactile things like felt, styrofoam, string, bumpy stickers, just different things, and make it into some sort of tactile block where the child can feel it and just play with the different objects.

Its not really a toy, but its something fun that kids play with. I used to just stand there for a few minutes between sessions and just play with the different beads and stuff (I was very young, ahah)
