Create fun opportunities for the children to explore the concepts of putting objects “in” and “out” and “on” and “off.” Place a long VELCRO® strip on a wall. Give the children large pom-poms to stick to the strip wherever they like. Encourage them to take the pom-poms “on” and “off” and use those words. Give the children a muffin tin with small balls and encourage them to place a ball in each opening. Model language: “You put the ball in the muffin tin.” Encourage the opposite behavior: “Now can you take it out again?” As they place the ball in and take it out, repeat the words, “In and...out, in and...out.”
