Are you shopping for toys and want to pick the bes Are you shopping for toys and want to pick the best ones for your child’s development? 👀 Today’s guide is all about our favorite toys that support speech + language development from our speech therapists and fellow moms 🙌🏻 Here’s the quick tip: focus on open-ended toys — things your child can play with in lots of different ways. More possibilities = more language. Think: blocks, Magnatiles, animals, cars, dollhouses, pretend play sets, simple cause & effect toys. Interactive books like All Better are amazing too — kids love moving the bandaids, and the repeated “all better!” builds great verbal routines. And always: skip the electronic toys. If the toy is talking, your child isn’t. 😉 Check the link in our bio or comment “Toys” and we’ll send the link to our favorite toys straight to your inbox! #speech #therapy #speechtips #speechtherapy #besttoys #toys

Gestures come before words — and they’re one of th Gestures come before words — and they’re one of the strongest predictors of how your child’s language will grow. 👋🧠✨ Here are simple, evidence-based ways to build gestures every day: ✔ Gesture songs Slow, exaggerated gestures helps your child imitate and engage. ✔ Teach waving hi + bye Wave as you enter a room, leave a room, see a car, or start/finish activities. ✔ Teach blowing kisses A fun, social gesture toddlers love to copy. ✔ Make your gestures BIG Point dramatically, shrug, reach, clap — little ones copy what feels animated. ✔ Drop something silly to teach “Uh-oh!” Let a toy fall, pause, and model open hands + “uh-oh!” Kids eat this up. ✔ Make big gestures during reading Point to pictures, act out actions, and show surprise — this boosts imitation and attention. ✔ Teach head nods + head shakes for yes/no Gestures you can teach: Wave hi/bye Blowing kisses Pointing Clapping More Up Stop I don’t know All done Uh-oh My turn Showing and giving Head nod for yes Head shake for no If you’re concerned about your child’s gestures, speech, or overall communication… early support makes a big difference. ✨ Call for a free speech consult today. #amayzingkids #speechtips #kids #speechtherapy
