1. Choose your favorite toy and place it in front of you. 2. Think of three fun facts about your toy: its name, color, and a memory. 3. Practice saying these facts aloud in front of a mirror or with a family member. 4. Create a small parade route on the floor with tape. 5. Walk your toy along the route while sharing your story. 6. Ask family members to share their toys too — how do their stories compare?
