Snap! Matching toys to images in stories

What you need 

• A favourite story book 
• Toys or objects that match pictures in the book, for example, toy farm animals and a book about a farm 

What to do 

• Put the toys somewhere your toddler can see them. 
• Find a comfortable place to look at the book together.  
• Read the story and ask your toddler to find the toy that matches the picture on each page. 
• Give your toddler lots of time to try to work out which toy matches each page.  
• Your toy might look different from the picture in the story, and they might not immediately connect that they are the same object or animal.
