The finished products look festive and bright covering our speech therapy walls and bulletin board, and the crafts serve as excellent at-home practice resources when taken down. Through use of the gift card, we have also purchased a few Boom Learning games that we utilize on the computer. The students greatly enjoy \"shooting baskets\" and searching for hidden treasure when using these interactive games that help promote their speech and language skills.

The activities are perfect for enhancing their language skills as there are ample opportunities to target early academic concepts such as colors, shapes, and letters as well as more advanced vocabulary such as qualitative concepts and verbs. The students greatly enjoy pressing the buttons on the vending machine and watching their selected items drop out of the bottom slot. I love that the activity encourages the students to make requests using descriptive language (e.g., I want the cookies on the top shelf.). An added bonus to the vending machine- there is enough space for me to add articulation cards and other small objects so the kiddos can practice numerous speech-language skills at once. The Woodpecker Feeding toy is great for fine motor practice, and my youngsters love creating and talking about the scenes when they use both the Melissa and Doug Take-Along Town and Magnetic Matching picture game.\r\nTruly, I cannot thank you enough for these new resources. We have only had them for a short time, and the students absolutely love them.
