Material

The small objects used in this activity are also used in other several other language activities. It can be nice to have a large collection of these and then swap them out from time to time.
Doll-house furniture works great for these. Toys and other objects from around the house can also be used.
There is a very helpful article on assembling a collection of miniatures at What DID we do all day?
