Small world, big ideas
Where could our tiny visitor stay?
A little pretend-world seed
Nothing chosen yet. One choice is enough to start.
These are supplied picture ideas. Your own place, visitor or purpose can be different. Adult operation on your direction is welcome.
A play start for today
A place for a visitor
Something tiny has arrived. Where could it stay? Make one place, tell a story, or direct an adult. One part is enough.

Paper, quiet, familiar-language and adult-support options
Use a blank page, the print aids, a spoken or signed story, established AAC, or a clear direction to a familiar adult. Confirm a chosen meaning gently. The drawings have no universal symbol meaning. Avoid small loose objects, tools or building an obstacle course; these are pretend flat-page/story invitations. Stop whenever the child wants. A familiar fluent adult can use the child's home language; this pack does not certify translations.
