Here’s how we use them in sessions:
🔹 Work on concept words like on/off, top/bottom, big/small
🔹 Practice colors (pink, purple, green, blue)
🔹 Build vocabulary while creating houses, castles, or towers
🔹 Strengthen fine motor skills through stacking and connecting
🔹 Encourage cooperation & social communication when building together

We love using hands-on tools to bring language and play together — and magnet tiles are a favorite in our playroom!

💙I love using books in speech therapy but for many kids, it’s all about engagement, increasing attention, and modeling language. 📚💬

🐻It’s not just reading the story—it’s bringing it to life! We love pairing manipulatives with books, and these Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? magnet tiles are one of our all-time favorites.

Even better, they pair perfectly with the Say & Play Story Kit mini objects for hands-on, interactive learning.
