Felt board fun!





As part of my job I help children learn language. I help them to learn about the world around them and be able to interact with their environment. I use all kinds of toys and activities to introduce new words to children in new ways. I help them to use the words they already know. I encourage them to respond to nonverbal language cues and to use them. Here are my kids using felt shapes and objects to exercise their language skills.

The little kids (ages 2 and 3) are still in the stage where they learn better with concrete items that they can hold and feel. And, it was just plain fun to get into mom's special instruction toys!!
