Ep. 3 Snow & Fake Snow Activities
Welcome to this week's episode focusing on combining indoor snow-play and language!
Don't feel like dressing your kid to play in the snow and dealing with cleaning up after? Then bring the snow inside! If you are in an area that does not have snow, then make your own! Grab a lot of snow in a plastic container, water color paints, or food dye with water, plastic toys, cooking utensils, cups, or anything else to boost imagination. This episode is focusing on various actions, spatial concepts, the descriptor "cold", and when questions
I created a Pinterest account so I can post visuals for my ideas. You can find my account @languagesthomepodcast or get my link below. If you are in an area that does not get snow, I pinned a fun recipe to create fake snow with baking soda and cheap hair conditioner on my Pinterest.

Introduction
Are you a parent, teacher or a pediatric service provider? Do you want new and fresh ideas to do with your children or students? Do you want free or low cost materials? Are you trying to give your child a break from their tablet or device? Are you curious about language developmental milestones and how to use them in your every-day environment?
If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then join me, a speech therapist, for my weekly episodes focusing on this. Before you throw that toilet paper roll out, you can use it in so many ways to have fun with your child. Same with that cardboard box, bubble wrap, packaging foam, egg cartons, and so much more. I will give you creative ideas to use these common objects with your child for a craft activity or during play. I will also point out ways YOU can facilitate language during play to help expose your child to new vocabulary and language concepts.
