teach2talk - teach2play Volume 1 - Basic Play

Trailer for teach2talk's teach2play Volume 1 - Basic Play DVD, which uses video modeling to teach play skills in a developmentally appropriate way.

The trailer shows the four plays steps on the teach2play play ladder covered in Volume 1 - Basic Play:

Step 1: TAKE APART/PUT TOGETHER: At this play step, the child both separates items fixed in an arrangement (for example, takes pieces out of a puzzle) as well as recreates combined arrangements of items from their individual parts (for example, puts puzzle pieces into the puzzle).

Step 2: PUT IN / PUT ON: At this play step, the child puts two different items together in a simple combination, such as placing one item into a different item or putting one item on top of another item.

Step 3: PRETEND TO EAT: At this play step, the child uses an external object to take an action which is directed at him or her, such as putting on a hat, combing hair, or eating play food.

Step 4: BUILD A TOWER: At this play step, the child combines items which are intended to go together in an appropriate manner based on their nature, such as stacking nesting cups, stringing beads together or connecting segments of a train track.

I have a few of these videos including this one and the Basic Play (vol 2). They're really great! Last year when my daughter turned 3, she was still "playing" with her toys like an infant. Everything just went straight into her mouth. Now at age 4 she actually pushes her cars across the floor and puts passengers in them too. These videos not only help her to play appropriately, she enjoys watching the other kids play and listening to the music. from an ex-teacher who now is a SAHM
