Speech and Language Connections

Articulation: have your child practice their speech words three-five times before they can cut each strip, weave each color, and/or glue on each piece of the eye! That’s 45 trials of speech sounds in just one activity!

Following Directions: give your child 1, 2, or 3 step directions while they complete each step of this activity. For example, “weave the red paper and then weave the orange paper”. Wait until they’ve followed the instruction before giving them another step.

Basic Concepts: this activity would be great for incorporating tons of concepts including front/back, in/out, top/bottom, long/short, first/next/last, and all the colors of the rainbow!

Added bonus, this craft is great for addressing fine and gross motor skills!
