Im all about child-guided play, but sometimes the teacher in me comes out. LOL I never force an activity onto my son, though. I have tons and tons of DIY materials that I made when I taught children with autism. This is a fun story we would read during the Halloween season. We would typically do this during circle time. It was a great way to learn colors, learn facial features, encourage communication, encourage participation, and encourage socialization. I set up the invitation for my son and I think we read the book 12 times in one sitting! Needless to say, he loved it - particularly adding the facial features and then taking them away. I made this years ago when I was teaching, so I dont have step by step instructions, but its pretty easy. I just traced from the book, cut out the pieces, laminated them, and then used velcro to put it all together. Simple and fun!
ENJOY!
