CONTENTS:
5 buns/ cakes
9 fruit and vegetables
Book- At the shops
Bag with coins
The Book and Games:
• Put your hand in the box and say ‘mmmmm’ (a rub on your tummy will indicate to your child
that it is something to eat).
• Get out a bun/ cake and put it on the table.
• Encourage your child to take turns and put his/ her hand in. Say ‘mmmm’ then get a bun out.
Give him lots of praise when he says ‘mmmm’ before he takes the bun out.
• Count them, pointing to each in turn… 1,2,3,4,5 currant buns
• Give your child one penny and say/sing the song. When his name is said, encourage him to
give you the penny in return for a bun.
• Look at the pictures in the book together and talk about the things to eat. Use ‘mmmmmm’
that’s nice, or, ‘ I like that, it’s yummy’ or ‘I don’t like this, do you’ or a similar phrase.
• Take the fruit and vegetables out of the box one at a time, name them and match them to the
pictures in the book. Match other items in the book to items you have in the home.
• Line up three of the fruit or vegetables. Name them several times and see if your child can
select the appropriate fruit or vegetable. Increase the number of fruit/ vegetables available for
selection (till you reach 6 items for display and your child can successfully select one of
these).
• When putting the fruit/ vegetables away ask for one item at first. e.g. ‘Give me the banana.’
Move to two items. e.g. ‘Give me the banana and the orange’. Increase to 3, as your child is
able to easily cope with this.
• Use all the items and money to play a shopping game, taking turns at asking for various
items.
