Make a pretend trail on a clear floor. You can stay on one spot; the adventure does not need a big room.
Our two play stops
- 8 min
Animal walk
Try three slow kitten steps, then pause like a listening rabbit. Let the child invent an animal. Copy their idea before offering yours.
Animal walk →Gather before playing
- a clear, non-slip space
- a comfortable supported seat for the hand version
The grown-up’s role
Model one gentle movement. Let your child adapt it, choose a hand version, skip or stop.
- 8 min
Sound safari
Keep your eyes open and listen for two nearby sounds. A grown-up can rustle paper or tap a large empty box. Take turns making and noticing one sound; guessing its name is optional.
Sound safari →Gather before playing
- a clean sheet or the pictures on this page
- a comfortable place with an adult
The grown-up’s role
Offer pointing, imagining or a word. Start with low device volume if you choose examples; do not turn the game into a hearing test.
Read or listen · optional
Mika and the Missing Sock
Read Mika’s sock story aloud, or look at just one picture. Ask the child to point to the kitten’s paws and to Bear’s funny hat.
Mika and the Missing Sock →A gentle finish
Choose one animal movement and one favourite sound. Say goodbye to the pretend trail together.
One question to share
What sound could our kitten notice at home?
Change the pace
Stay seated and use hands for tiny paws. The child can point, move or make a sound instead of speaking.
