For example, here at Stage 6 which is 24 to 30 months developmentally, kids use short phrases frequently, add &#8216;ing&#8217; verbs, use early pronouns, begin to use plural and possessive \/s\/, and several other things. As you play, pick one or two key language goals to work on and model phrases with those targets many, many times as you play together.

At this stage, kids can do up to 10 pieces in a wooden, inset puzzle. Choose puzzles with different themes to work on teaching new words and vocabulary development.

TOYS DURING THERAPY<\/h2>\n<h3>TOY MICROWAVE<\/h3>\n<p>This toy is so versatile and will be fun for preschoolers too. It\u2019s great for helping a child learn to combine actions and sequence a longer play routine. Add steps to help them learn to slow down and stay with you &#8212; a challenge in this stage! For language, target phrases. You may try an anchor phrase which means that you keep one word the same and then change the other word such as: Cook apple, cook waffle, cook fish, cook cookie, etc. You may also use it for gestalt language learners with a key phrase like \u201cTime to ____.\u201d I like teaching verbs this way&#8230; time to cook, time to open, time to shut, time to cut, time to blow, time to eat, etc.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-53746\" src=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/microwave.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/microwave.webp 300w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/microwave-250x193.webp 250w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/microwave-60x46.webp 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UCVQRy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3UCVQRy<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>TOY SINK<\/h3>\n<p>Water play is always a big hit with toddlers and preschoolers! Like the microwave, this toy will be appealing for a long time so it\u2019s a great investment. Think about teaching play and language combinations. Turn water on and wash dish. Wash dish and put it away. Remember &#8211; a child at this stage of play can\u2019t combine more than 2 simple actions yet, so don\u2019t make it too hard! Also target word combinations using expansion. For example, a child says, \u201cPlate\u201d and you add a word to make it a phrase such as \u201cWash plate.\u201d or \u201cPlate all done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53749\" src=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/toy-sink.jpg 466w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48kBW0S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/48kBW0S<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>TOY BATHTUB<\/h3>\n<p>This toy is also a great investment and will be fun for a long time! I\u2019ve used lots of variations from the Dollar store version to this one \u2013 you get what you pay for! Sometimes the pump is too hard and that\u2019s okay because a child will need you and you can ask him to request with a phrase\u2026 Help me, more please, more water, need water, water on (remember that\u2019s on older target!) etc. Phrase combination options are endless! For example: Wash baby, wash arm, wash hair, wash belly, wash toes\u2026 Focus on combining actions too, but don\u2019t make it too complicated with too many steps. Target 2 actions now If you are losing kid, it\u2019s too hard! Make it simpler.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53750\" src=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BATHTUB-300x241.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"241\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BATHTUB-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BATHTUB-250x201.jpg 250w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BATHTUB-60x48.jpg 60w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/BATHTUB.jpg 466w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48iUdeW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/48iUdeW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>PLAYGROUND<\/h3>\n<p>Look for sets with options for targeting \u201cing\u201d words &#8212; swinging, climbing, sliding, etc. Help a child learn to include 3 or more actions or steps with the characters at the playground. Keep thinking&#8230; \u201cWhat\u2019s the next thing this child could do?\u201d and encourage that action.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53751\" src=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PLAYGROUND-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PLAYGROUND-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PLAYGROUND-250x265.jpg 250w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PLAYGROUND-60x64.jpg 60w, https:\/\/teachmetotalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/PLAYGROUND.jpg 466w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wemN47\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3wemN47<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>FARM PLAY<\/h2>\n<p>Barns, animals, and tractors are so much fun for toddlers and the possibilities for play and language are endless! We\u2019re working on combinatons with actions. You can make one animal do lots of things (run, eat, sleep, climb, fly, etc.) or you can make several animals do the same thing (the cow, pig, and horse all eat from the trough).

There are lots of pieces so you have lots of language targets &#8212; especially BODY PART + in. Try requesting the next piece if this is new with a 3 word phrase&#8230; I want ____&#8230; or make it simpler with ___ please. If a child isn\u2019t interested or this seems hard for him, try deconstruction.
