Basic coloring tasks while asking “who, what, where” questions, as well as showing understanding of function (“what we see with, smell with, eat with” etc).

Reviews basic concepts and early developing skills (amounts, colors, sizes, etc). When drawing, you can also work on emphasizing ending sounds if your child drops ending sounds in words.
