Engaging with babies and toddlers during playtime requires a shift in approach from asking targeted questions to facilitating a sensory experience. Pediatric speech and language pathologist Nicole Druckman advises against interrogating children about colors or numbers. Instead, she suggests creating concrete, interactive experiences, like a monochromatic sensory bin. This method allows for natural learning through exploration, reinforcing color recognition without pressure, thereby making learning enjoyable and memorable for children.
Kids remember things better when it's fun, when it's child-led, and when it's concrete.
Instead of quizzing 'what color is this? what color is this?' you can just make a green sensory bin.
