How it actually goes

โฑ 30-second set-up โ€”
Thirty seconds: put printed photos, a small album on a tray or a clear bit of floor, and sit down next to it before you call them over.
๐Ÿง‘ What you do โ€”
Show it once, slowly, without talking over yourself. Then hand it over and stop helping unless they ask.
๐Ÿ‘ถ What they do โ€”
Look, listen, point, and eventually put their own words on it.
โœ… What success looks like โ€”
At 1โ€“2 they'll tip it out and put nothing back. That's the work โ€” emptying comes long before filling.
๐Ÿงบ How to put it away โ€”
Everything back into one basket or tray, carried back to its spot by them. Naming the spot out loud is what makes it stick.
๐Ÿ“ˆ When they outgrow it โ€”
Older? Ask them to tell it back to you, or to a younger sibling.
