Cornerstone FUNdamentals

Parents…

You don’t need expensive toys to build communication.

A simple scarf can become a game of peek-a-boo, hiding, waiting, requesting, colors, following directions, pretend play, and so much more!

✨ Try saying:
❤️ “Ready…GO!”
💛 “Up…down.”
💚 “In…out.”
💙 “More?”
🧡 “Where did it go?”
💜 “My turn…your turn.”

Purposeful play creates opportunities for connection—and communication grows through those joyful moments together.

💛 Don’t forget to play!

🚗 Two toy cars can create SO many communication opportunities!

Whether your child has a speech delay, autism, or is learning with AAC or PECS, simple play can build meaningful communication.

Try modeling:
🛻 Go! Stop!
🛻 Ready…Set…Go!
🛻 My turn. Your turn.
🛻 More car.
🛻 Help me.
🛻 Fast. Slow.

If you’re using PECS or picture icons, pair them with the words while you play to encourage understanding and communication.

💙 Save this idea for later and share it with another parent!

Purpose within the play.

✨ Don’t forget to play!
