I love that games that are played during one on one times seem to naturally involve great learning and language opportunities. No need to be specific, just focus on the fun and learning happen

Of course my Miss 3 loves the attention the learning is just a bonus for mum

Great game ideas. Will have to get mum to hold onto her junk mail so I have two sets .-= Amanda´s last blog ..a bit about Chicken Loaf with Tomatoes =-.

There is so much language stimulation that can come from old catalogues. I used to use them (as a Speech Pathologist) in categorisation (fruit, toys, clothes), looking for objects by their function (which one can cut?), describing (by colour, shape, size, number, texture), and matching games as you described. If you get the right pictures, they are also much more interesting for sound/ articulation work than using photocopied line drawings. Sounds like you had a nice afternoon!

great ideas

We often pick up a couple on the way into the supermarket, they often have them at the front counter. Especially the ones with healthy food.

I love these ideas! What a creative use for catalogs.

Have to add that I hope it isn’t too soon before she stops saying “snissors” because that is adorable

Best wishes!

We have just discovered snipping with 'snissors' too! I look forward to the day when we can make our own games together! .-= Christie @ Childhood 101´s last blog ..Learning to Listen =-.

I used to do that with my girls too....sometimes I miss it when they were still little and at home when we used to do painting and playdoh and other fun activities together. .-= Vicki´s last blog ..In Love With French Label ~ Comme du Coton =-.
