An accompanying question guide and prompt card are included with each themed illustration. Let's look at the illustration of the toy store. Parents/teachers will find between 9-11 questions per category on the question guide.
Who is pushing the cart?
What animals live in the zoo?
When do you get presents?
Why is the boy using a ladder?
Where do helicopters fly?
How many balls are there?
Children are asked a number of questions from four categories on the prompt card that goes with the toy store illustration. Here are a few examples.
Prepositions - Find something that is (in, between, under).
Actions - Find these (singing, popping)
Emotions - Level 1 (scared, angry) Level 2 (amazed, alarmed)
Descriptions - Find something that (is soft and cuddly)
Picture This! was a huge hit with my 26-month-old grandson. As your child grows, this flipbook will grow with him or her. He was able to answer Who, Where, and some How questions. He enjoyed the colorful pictures and the fact that there was so much to identify and see. When I called out certain items in the pictures, he liked finding them. There was no shortage of things he wanted to point out and name, and he was eager to count them as well.
The farm picture captured my grandson's attention and he counted all the animals and named them. Among the new words he learned were windmill, scarecrow, wheelbarrow, and watering can. As we looked at the picture, we talked about what the children were doing. As he listened to me, he repeated the children's actions back to me.
My grandson pointed out the girl in the wheelchair in the picnic spot picture. He pointed to the chair and said, "She sitting in a chair." I thought that was pretty observant for his age. Many new words were learned, including kite, hot air balloon, bridge, frisbee, and park bench. His attention was drawn to the picture for a long time.
A great feature of the flipbook is its ability to stand up.
I think Picture This! is a fantastic tool for children to explore learning. It is a flipbook that I would highly recommend for home or school use.
