Your Question?
I have to create a language prop - Hand puppet or finger puppet that can be used to present a language/literature experience for children between 2-6yrs old.
The primary focus is to stimulate language development.

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I was originally thinking about doing 5 little monkeys but when I re-read I have to stimulate language development. Which im sure this would but interested in other ideas (that don't require the most talented artist lol)

Description and Message:
I'm looking for any suggestions of easy to remember rhymes/songs/books

Thanks in advance

Very helpful.

Thank you

I have similar assignment on this topic but slightly different:

Student are to individually select an area of wellbeing and then design a story that relates to that area. your story telling experience and wellbeing topic must also foster children's language, physical, cognitive, emotional and social development. You will need at least two props (a piece of music, a poem, puppets, musical instruments or a dance) that will compliment your story and wellbeing topic.

I am thinking of focus on physical developmental area of wellbeing. Story will touch on child's physical development such as 'jumping, hopping, move to the left, move to the right, running' - my story is a re-telling version of "i am going for a bear hunt" and Prop are song and puppet.

What do you think?
