A Retro ViewMaster Saves The Session

Have you ever saved a session or re-engaged a child with a ViewMaster? It is a real attention-getter! You may use wind-up toys, play dough, stickers, puppets but nothing works like a ViewMaster!

The child looks through the ViewMaster while the parent, therapist or teacher fosters a conversation about the topic on the reel. It’s easy to get the excited child to narrate and talk about whatever they are viewing. There are themes like dinosaurs, marine life, robots, Dora The Explorer, Handy Manny, Discovery Kids, Disney and more. It is a perfect opportunity to build language through hearing alone while the listening, language and vocabulary targets are limitless!  

While most would consider this a vintage toy it is still available on Amazon. Parents love this retro toy and most remember having it as a child. 

Let me know if you give it a try!
