I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie

I put Velcro in the lady’s mouth and on a line below, switching out the objects for each special occasion! For spring she has a lovely hat to cover her bun!
These activities really meet a lot of the goals I have for clients: to expand vocabulary, sequencing and following directions.
