My toddler has a small Elmo doll, that prompted him to add "Meh-mo" to his list of words a couple months ago. Since then he has started to recognize Elmo in items at the store or in books, and gets really excited about an occasional episode of "Elmo's World" on YouTube. Recently, his little high-pitched "Meh-mo" has evolved into asking for "Eh-mo" on a regular basis. So this week I thought it might be fun to go with that interest, and add some Elmo felt pieces to the board in his room.
I hot glued Elmo's eyes and nose to his face, but decided to leave his mouth as an extra piece. (As time goes by, we may use Elmo to explore different feeling faces...) I also made Elmo's pet fish, and then added some colorful shapes just for fun.
Besides my toddler's excitement over saying "Eh-mo" that much more throughout the day, it's also been a fun tool for developing language words like eyes, nose, and mouth. He is especially interested in finding Elmo's nose. :)
