Specialist Speech Therapist Eleanor found this holographic puzzle in Aldi that children on her caseload love to play.
“I’ve created a colourful semantics visual support pack to go with it with vocabulary and sentence strips.”

Make your own Valentine’s Day craft for your loved ones or favourite teachers!
Easy to make using our free downloads you and your child can create messy play and make a lovely gift at the same time.
Crafts make wonderful opportunities to allow children to ask for help, make requests, and use sounds and words for accomplishment. Also, they are simply fun!
Speech Therapist Catherine created this symbol supported pancake recipe which can help your little ones break down and understand the instructions for how to make pancakes this pancake day, while at the same time building their vocabularies with new cooking and food words, concepts of time, space and quantity and useful verbs.

We made this autumnal activity to help children "Feed" Sammy and count the conkers and pinecones, also a good excuse to get out for a lovely walk and find them first!

The vinyl I used comes from a large clear vinyl tablecloth (available from ebay) but you could use another source of clear vinyl.
Use a sewing machine and the small size on the pattern (see download) to edge the vinyl with bias binding at the top and bottom. Then fold over the sides at the same time inserting a length of light elastic to fit the wearer.
Adjust to fit…..
As well as keeping our clients safe, transparent face masks allow them to see how our mouths form words and sounds as we speak to help overcome communication difficulties.
You can stop the mask from steaming up from your breathing by using a cloth to wipe a very thin film of washing up liquid onto the inside of the mask on the area around your mouth. Do this before you put the mask on and be very careful not to use too much, just use a very tiny, pin-prick sized blob and wipe it over.
Disclaimer: This is a face covering, not a surgical mask or filtering N95 mask. It is not designed to be used for any aerosol generating procedures and all professionals should consult their own local PPE guidelines.
*This pattern is for personal use only and its reproduction or commercial use is prohibited.
