Develop natural speech and language skills by creating an obstacle course at home with blue tape on the floor! Hide puzzle pieces! Freeze mini objects and watch them melt in your hands while you label them! Play hide and seek! Just PLAY and use any toy to MAKE IT FUN!

// Parents: Be aware of HOW your child's toys are presented! Are they scattered all over the toy box and they can only find 2 pieces to the puzzle? ORGANIZE the toys, put all toys and pieces in see-through bags or containers and rotate your toys in and out! Put you child's favorites just out of reach so that they can ASK for it by pointing, gesturing or using words! Create OPPORTUNITIES for your child to communicate by TEACHING them how to play with toys- if they don't like them, it's because they don't know what to do with them! SHOW them and model and PLAY! Playing is the golden ticket to speech and language development!

//My FAVORITE toys:
Buzzers: https://amzn.to/3ayphfZ used in video
Vocabulary Foam Magnets https://amzn.to/32mMVY4 A TON of great objects to work on for expanding receptive and expressive vocabulary, using animal sounds and labels, combining words using a verbal routine (i.e. "bye ball, ball car, bye cow" when cleaning up) and I love that these are FOAM, very soft and interesting texture, great for sensory integration, and super easy to clean!
Fisher Price Little People Barn - https://amzn.to/2Q7kSJP
Fisher Prince Little People Train - https://amzn.to/2P0cfQQ
BANANA Popper Toy: https://amzn.to/3v1Hha8
Tunnel: https://amzn.to/3doreNF Use this for GROSS MOTOR activity during activities!
Potato Head: https://amzn.to/3doreNF to target teaching body parts, making choices (pointing), labeling, increasing vocabulary, following directions, eliciting speech sounds, eye contact, turn taking, AND prepositions! Check it out in action here    • HOW TO TEACH A CHILD PREPOSITIONS AT HOME ...  
Fisher Price Little People Barnhttps://amzn.to/2Q7kSJP : Build literal & imaginative play skills, vocabulary development, turn taking, following play routines and directions, multi-step instructions, basic concept skills and prepositions using this adorable barn (with sound!) Take turns identifying animals by sound or word, opening and closing the barn door, taking animals in/out and incorporating play routines to extend play!
Fisher Prince Little People Train! https://amzn.to/2P0cfQQ I love using this train to drag out my play routines in therapy and to incorporate gross and fine motor breaks! Target following directions, vocabulary development & turn taking! Drive or fly the train, take the animals off/put them on, start on one side of the room and then make your way to the other to pick up the animals for some gross motor movement!
