Toy First Words for Toddlers

12 toys: ball, balloon, blocks, book, doll, teddy bear, bubbles, kite and a present, each with its name underneath.

Words already lying on the floor

Toy first words are the names of the things a child already holds: ball, doll, teddy bear, blocks. The real object is usually within reach while the coloring is going on, so the drawing, the spoken word and the toy itself come together in one moment.

A teddy bear, a doll and a ball, exactly as they appear inside the books.

Every toy word, book by book

Color the teddy bear, then go and find the real one. Say its name once. Nothing else required.

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

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

Questions Parents Ask

Why do toy words work so well?

Because the toy is in the room. Color it, then hold it. The child links the drawing, the word and the thing itself without any explanation.

Which toys are in the books?

Ball, balloon, blocks, book, doll, teddy bear, bubbles, kite and a present in Book 1. Book 2 adds balloons, soap bubbles and a swing.

My child wants the toy, not the page. Is that a problem?

No. The page exists to open a small moment of conversation, not to keep a child at a table for twenty minutes.
