Light the Towers

Parent and child build block towers and shine a flashlight to create shadows on the wall. The agent coaches the parent to observe and encourage word attempts, sound imitation, and simple vocabulary expression during this imaginative play — building early language skills through sensory-rich interaction.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Building blocks and flashlight ready. Choose location near blank wall where shadows will be visible. Ensure room can be dimmed slightly for better shadow effect. Parent and child seated comfortably together.
