Interacting with the Vocabulary:

• Puzzle Cards Large puzzle cards that you and your child can put together while saying the words
  • Say, Color, and Display Coloring Sheets
    • These coloring sheets contain pictures of the target words for your child, student, or client to color. They are unique because there is a visual cue for the first sound of the pictured word. For instance, the lips are together for the picture of the bells. This cues children to say the word by putting their lips together. Such visuals can help your toddler see how to make the first sound in the word. Coloring these pictures is a wonderful way to intentionally target this holiday vocabulary.
