Talking Points

• “Look at this crystal! What color do you see?”

  This helps the child start identifying colors.

• “Crystals come in different shapes, like pointy and round! Can you make a shape with your hands?”

  This encourages them to think about shapes.

• “Crystals can be shiny and sparkly! Can you pretend to sparkle?”

  This engages their imagination and movement.
