One affordance I have seen in young children is knotting or tying. A child can use this affordances with any string or rope. This affordance is something that helps the child get the feel of tying which in turn is how they learn how to tie a shoe.
Another affordance I see in children is plunging. Plunging is a convex object fitting in a concave object. An example of this would be a set of building blocks, or A puzzle. This affordance not only helps a child learn shapes visually, but helps them perceive how the different shapes can fit together. This helps children get a perceptual feel of whether or not what they are trying to do will work or not.
