A set of vocabulary cards just for children. The cards show children acting out thirty five common actions. (ie. jumping, cutting, lifting, brushing, etc...) A good way to explore the rather difficult to explain language concept of verbs.

PLAY Tip
Pon Pon: Sensory Integration, Balance and Coordination
A great indoor/outdoor toy, especially for children with mild balance and coordination issues or general developmental delays. Start with simply bouncing in place and then work up to real bouncing. The strong kinesthetic stimulation can help some children with autism "click" into attentiveness. Good for indoor winter exercise in cold northern climes.
