Speech Therapy Toys
I work primarily with preschoolers and am always on the lookout for new therapy materials. Here are some of my favorites.
Melissa & Doug's Reusable Sticker Pads
With so many possible therapy targets, from vocabulary to basic concepts to describing,
Melissa & Doug Reusable Sticker Pads are a fantastic investment for any SLP!
Kids love creating their own scenes with the stickers and telling about what they’ve made.
Can be used over and over!
Squawk! The Egg-splosive Chicken Game
You press on the chicken’s chest, it squawks, and every so often it will lay an egg! I use this with my Pre-K students while working on artic or doing assessments. After the student has completed so many trials,
they get to press on the chicken until it lays
an egg. It’s a huge thrill!
Cat and Mouse Bank
Another huge hit with my preschoolers! You put a token or coin in the train, press a button, and the mouse goes around the cat and deposits the token. Children are highly motivated to imitate short phrases modeled for them, such as "bye-bye mouse", "all gone", "need more", mouse comes back", etc.
