Print & prepare

Print on US Letter paper in landscape using “Fit to printable area.” Each page has a quarter-inch border. Check one page before printing the rest.

These activities are prepared by the SLP before the session; children do not cut out the pieces. Use paper or cardstock and cut out all pieces. We recommend laminating the cutouts for added durability and long-lasting, repeated use. Glue Velcro (hook-and-loop fasteners) to the pieces and corresponding attachment points, rather than gluing the pieces together. Let the glue dry fully so the child can attach, remove and reattach the pieces during supervised sessions. The last page of your PDF contains the full SLP guide.
