Home First Words for Toddlers

16 everyday things from home: cup, spoon, plate, chair, lamp, key, phone, bed and more, each with its name underneath.

Words from around the house

Home first words are the names of the things a child sees an adult use all day: cup, spoon, plate, bed. They are among the first words most children say, because the object is right there and the word is repeated without anyone planning it.

A cup, a lamp and a key, exactly as they appear inside the books.

Every home word, book by book

Color the cup, then drink from a real one. The word gets said twice and nobody had to prepare a thing.

First words

  1. 1

    Color

    Hand the page over and let the child color. One object, thick outlines, nothing else on the sheet to get lost in.

  2. 2

    Say

    Name what is on the page while they work. Cat. A cat says meow. Where are the cat's ears? Nothing to prepare, you already know the words.

  3. 3

    Notice the word

    The word is printed under the picture in hollow letters, so it can be colored too. Point at it, read it out, move on. No drills, no testing.

Where these pages come from

These pages come from Little Max Book 1 and Book 2, one drawing per page with the word underneath.

Questions Parents Ask

Why start with things from the house?

Because they are the words a child hears most. Cup, spoon and bed come up dozens of times a day with no effort from anyone.

Which things are in the books?

Cup, spoon, fork, plate, chair, lamp, key, phone, toothbrush, pillow, bed and a house in Book 1. Book 2 adds a pot, a frying pan, a kettle and a candle.

Can we use the real object with the page?

Yes, and it works better than anything else. Color it, then hold it, then name it. That is the whole idea.
