Animated Step-by-Steps® lend themselves beautifully to structured pretend play. Read and animate the page together, then act out what you just read and saw, using play materials that support the activity. When using the symbol-supported versions (i.e., Picture Communication Symbols, SymbolStix) the symbols are available to provide Aided Language Stimulation!
I've always loved the
Melissa & Doug wooden play sets (https://www.melissaanddoug.com) .... and as luck would have it, many of them dove-tail beautifully with
Animated Step-by-Steps® resources.
