It costs money to run a free website: our server costs alone are £400 per month. Last year we had 40,000 visitors to the site from whom we received only £40 in donations. We are not currently receiving any other income. At this rate, we will run out of money in the next few months and the site will be forced to close.
Please make a minimum donation of £5 to keep the site going. Thank you

Items from a bag 1 Bag Set of objects which the child understands the names of | 1. Take the objects out of the bag one at a time, for each item say to the child "It's a [name of object]" for example "It's an apple". Look to the child for confirmation that it's an apple (as if you are not quite sure). Then, with certainty, say "Yes, it's an apple"; 2. After a few items, start to get the occasional item wrong (use exactly the same not-quite-sure facial expression you used before). E.g. "It's a pencil" (but it's a toy car). Can the child tell you that it isn't? If not, have a look at the item again and pretend to suddenly realise you were wrong, say "(oh) No, it's not a pencil. It's a car. 3. Repeat. | This activity requires a bit of play acting to work well. Over time you may be able to name/incorrectly name items more quickly, and be more positive about being right every time (even though you are not). |
Jemima and Polly Two toy animals or dolls (each with a name) (Optional) things that the dolls can use, e.g. tea set |
