Phew! I spent a big chunk of my morning sharing how I plan on using my latest @dollartree haul and drafting up a blog post for you (stories are now saved to highlight and blog post coming tonight)! Did you catch it all in my stories? Let me know what you think and if you have a favorite/already have some of these finds!

Thank you for supporting my shopping habits in a positive way. It's ok... I know I'm a speech therapy materials hoarder! 😂

Oops I did it again. 😂🤷‍♀️ @dollartree haul coming up tomorrow. I will demonstrate 12 different activities that you can do in your sessions with recent Dollar Tree finds (plus the goals you can target). If this is something you're interested in, comment below with an emoji showing what you're up to this weekend! I love hearing from you! Me: 👨‍👩‍👧🏈⚾️💻💅🏼

Run! This is your official heads up to run to your nearest dollar store, Walmart, Target, etc and grab all of the inexpensive “costumes”. All of these were a dollar and can be a perfect solution for keeping those busy kiddos engaged during your sessions! 🦖🐞🐝🦇🐰

Allowing the child to PHYSICALLY DEMONSTRATE and OBSERVE actions and prepositions is not only fun but it’s also considered an evidence based practice. 👍 So... instead of “what is that boy doing in the picture?”... let’s try “the ladybug is on the chair, the dinosaur is jumping off the rock, the bat is flying over the chair, the bunny is hopping in front of the carrot”! 🙌
-
How else can you use these costumes in therapy? Let's brainstorm together!👇

👋🏻Anyone else leave their house looking like they are going on a month long vacation? My husband sent this recording from last week and I have to admit... it’s pretty ridiculous! 😂
-
My child skipping to the car without a care in the world while I’m clearly thinking of a million things and carrying a tote full of toys, therapy backpack, her backpack/lunchbox, coffee, phone, keys.... oh and don’t forget the obnoxious PLS evaluation kit in that purple bag. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Preschoolers are tough. I’ve had countless conversations with so many of you and they tend to be about managing preschool mixed groups and how to incorporate literacy when they have sort attention spans! Done and done. 🙌🏻🎉

(Need book rec at the end!) Confession: I tend to pull out community helper activities... all👏🏻year👏🏻long! It’s one of my favorites because it can address ALL “wh” questions, pronouns, spatial concepts, naming, actions... you know, the usual. #TSMthemes

Over the years, I’ve collected a fun little stash of amazon finds! My favorite is the chunky puzzle that I put in sensory bins! My daughter also loves to play with the Melissa & Doug magnetic dress doll during breakfast (which can address SO many goals on its own!) I have saved a ton of community helper items in a separate list (amazon.com/shop/texasspeechmom)

TpT Products seen:
- Speech Bin Unit (firefighter shapes)
- Pop Up Craft (community helpers)

💛💛💛💛💛💛 I want to stock up on more community helper books that are interactive for little ones! Tell me your favorites!

My office is in the process of being cleaned up (for the first time in weeks) and the fall decorating has begun. There’s a rumor that Texas might get a cold front next week! 🤞🏻❄️ Have you decorated for fall yet or are you just not that into it?
-
Planning on unplugging for the weekend but wanted say thank you for always being so understanding when I need to go MIA for a bit! Planning on purging this house, getting my fall on, and recharging the good ol’ TSM batteries! What are your plans?
