The kids saw their favorite activity make a return this week-SMUSH boards. I call them "SMUSH" boards because the little ones love to say "SMUSH!" as they smush playdough on the pictures. This week my primary target is food! I started with fruits last week. Those appeared way too easy for several of my little friends so I added vegetables this week. That should stump them! You can also use these boards to work on goals such as describing qualities. An example would be "What vegetable is red and grows on a vine?" I added a simple category board as well to some of the sessions. It was just recently added to the TpT store.
Another favorite with the kids is the sensory bin. I added seasonal vase filler balls (glittery orange and green), small fake apples, acorns and corn and a few feathers. Then I added the plastic fruits and veggies we have been working on. If you don't have the plastic ones, you could add laminated pictures of the foods you want to address.
The craft we do at the end of the week is similar to the articulation take home activity. Except we glue the feathers onto the back of the bag. Little ones must use words to make requests of the items they need. Most of my little guys are seen at home. They aren't in daycare so they don't crafts everyday. They enjoy the actual process of making something. The looks on their faces when we are done is enough for me. They are so proud and SO EXCITED to show mom, grandma, dad or the babysitter! Which of course ignites more expressive language!!!
