Don’t throw leaflets away – they’re a great conversation starter!

What you need 

• Leaflets, catalogues or magazines 

What to do 

• Give your toddler some leaflets, catalogues or old magazines to look at.
• When you see what they are interested in, talk about those things.
• Make sure you pause so they have time to speak too, and respond to their comments.
• Your toddler might point at things that are unfamiliar to ask you to tell them what they are, or might ask, “What’s that?”
• Respond to their gestures and questions, and keep chatting for as long as they stay interested.
