Fun Family Activities: Combine Speech Practice + Cozy Winter Vibes
Here are a few easy, low-prep ideas to merge holiday fun, speech development, and emotional well-being:
* Holiday Word Hunt: Hide seasonal items or picture cards around the house. Ask your child to find them and name them (e.g., “candle,” “snowflake,” “coat”), then describe shape, color, size, or use them in a sentence. Great for vocabulary & articulation.
* Winter Story Time + WH-Questions: Read a holiday or winter-themed book together, then ask simple questions: “Who is in the story?”, “What’s happening?”, “Where are they going?” — builds comprehension and expressive language.
* Calm-Down Corner + Breathing Breaks: After busy activities or holiday events, invite your child to a quiet space with pillows, soft lighting, or a favorite stuffed toy to do deep breathing or just decompress. Helps manage overstimulation and anxiety.
* Gratitude Jar or Holiday Reflection: Each evening, as a family, share one good moment from the day. Invite your child to say or draw what made them smile — encourages self-expression, emotional awareness, and narrative skills.

Here is a fun speech related holiday toy!

A cookie or baking toy set can work on labeling kitchen utensils, sequencing the steps for making food, and using the food props for various goals.

A solid play food set is an excellent addition to your speech therapy toys because you will use the food in so many themed units. For example, you can use food for a picnic theme, BBQ theme, pack your lunch for a school theme, or Christmas cookies or a Thanksgiving dinner theme.
