Placing Presents

This was a tray I added this week to practice placement/direction words.  I bought a tree at the dollar store along with some presents that were meant to be ornaments.

I wrote the words "right", "left", "front", and "behind" on pieces of white card stock and folded them to make them stand.  I placed the cards in the appropriate spots around the tree as E and I talked about each word.

I wrote letter clues on the bottom of each present (F for front, R for right, etc...).  E took the presents, read the letter and then placed them in the correct spot.

E loved this activity and asked to do it many times.  I am planning on taking the placement cards away later in the week to see if he can do it without the words.
