Model using possessives in simple sentences to show who an item belongs to for example, teddy’s cup, daddy’s hat, teddy’s car, or mommy’s cake. Step up the activity by laying out a selection of clothes and see if your child can follow a simple short instruction to dress the bear. For example, putting a hat and socks on the bear while naming the items. If the teddy bear doesn’t have its own clothes, using your child’s own clothes can be just as successful and often super fun. Support using and understanding of vocabulary for clothes by dressing and undressing the teddy bear. Step up the activity by using a selection of teddies and toys to compare using these concepts.
Model concepts such as big/small, tall/short, hot/cold, hard/soft, etc.
