Provide a variety of items the children can use to make a crunchy snack, such as cereal o's or squares, and small crackers in different shapes. Make a recipe card for children to follow as they assemble their snack. As they work, use words that describe the texture of the different ingredients, such as crispy, crunchy, crumbly. Explain that some words make us think of sounds. Say, “When you say the word “crunch,” it sounds like the sound you make when you chew something crunchy. Say it with me: Crunch!” As children eat their snack, comment on the sound. "Mary, I hear you crunching your snack.”
