Toddler Grade Talking Points
- "Nouns are words for people, places, or things. Can you find a LEGO person, a LEGO house, or a LEGO car?"
- "Verbs are action words. What is the LEGO person doing? Are they building, jumping, or running?"
- "Adjectives describe things. How would you describe this big red LEGO brick? What about the small blue LEGO brick?"
