How it actually goes
- ⏱ 30-second set-up —
- Thirty seconds: put your voice on a tray or a clear bit of floor, and sit down next to it before you call them over.
- 🧑 What you do —
- Show it once, slowly, without talking over yourself. Then hand it over and stop helping unless they ask.
- 👶 What they do —
- Look, listen, point, and eventually put their own words on it.
- ✅ What success looks like —
- Under 1, watching, mouthing and batting at it is the whole activity. Two minutes of real attention is a good session.
- 🧺 How to put it away —
- Everything back into one basket or tray, carried back to its spot by them. Naming the spot out loud is what makes it stick.
- 📈 When they outgrow it —
- Older? Ask them to tell it back to you, or to a younger sibling.
