14 raring2go.co.uk 1. Balloon-Powered Car Pump Why it’s brilliant: Cause-and-effect toys are gold for early communication. Children love watching the balloon inflate and the car zoom off. That predictable sequence builds attention, anticipation and interaction. Supports: Early requesting (more, again, go), turn-taking, joint attention, action words (blow, pump, go, stop). How to use it: Use simple, repetitive phrases: “Ready… steady… GO!” Pause after “ready… steady…” to give your child space to copy or anticipate. Model “more?” each time they want another turn. 2. Wooden Vehicle Puzzle Why it’s brilliant: Puzzles create natural chances for pointing, naming, matching and understanding everyday words. Vehicles are especially motivating for many young children. Supports: Vocabulary (car, bus, ambulance, fire engine), understanding simple instructions, prepositions (in, out, on), sound imitation (nee-nah, beep, brum). How to use it: Label each piece as you lift it out: “Car out!” Give clues: “Find the one that goes nee-nah.” Offer choices so your child can communicate even if they’re not yet speaking. 3. First 100 Words Book Why it’s brilliant: Books with real pictures support vocabulary, early categorisation and word-to-picture association. They’re ideal for all early communicators, including those who prefer visual learning. Supports: Everyday vocabulary, pointing and joint attention, early commenting, building understanding of categories (animals, transport, food). How to use it: Avoid quizzing - simply comment, point and model: “Look, banana… yellow banana.” Follow your child’s lead and stay on their favourite pages longer. 4. Car Ramp Run Why it’s brilliant: Repetition is a key ingredient for learning language. Car ramps offer the same predictable action again and again, helping children practise the same sounds and words with joy, not pressure. Supports: Early words (go, stop, fast, more), turn-taking, listening, predictive language (“again!” “my turn!”) How to use it: Take turns sending the car down the ramp. Before each turn, pause and wait - the pause encourages children to vocalise or gesture. Raring2go! FEATURE Four Top Toys to Support Your Child’s Talking When it comes to boosting preschool and primary school age children’s communication, you don’t need flashy gadgets or complicated programmes. Often, the simplest toys create the richest language opportunities. Here are my top five toys for supporting speech, language and early communication skills at home. Want more ideas like these?

Raring2go! WHAT’S ON? 17 3New Art Gallery Walsall This iconic gallery was hailed as one of the most exciting new galleries to be built in Britain for decades when it opened in 2000 and a walk through the gallery’s spaces is a must for any family. Spend the day discovering all that the gallery has to offer, from works by World-famous artists such as Van Gogh, Constable, Turner, Picasso and Matisse, to the renowned Garman Ryan Collection. The gallery is family-friendly, is accessible to buggies and has family workshops. www.thenewartgallerywalsall.org.uk 4Birmingham Airport Viewing Area Whether you follow aircraft arrivals and departures keenly, want a family day out for the kids to see aircraft up close or just want to observe the comings and goings on the airfield, Birmingham Airport’s free viewing area could be just the thing you are looking for. The area is located at Car Park 5, open 24 hours, and provides picnic benches and a great view of the runway. Remember that if you are arriving by car and parking here, normal car park rates apply. Alternatively, if you’re interested in seeing aeroplanes up close, you can visit the designated viewing area at Sheldon Country Park. It lies just under a mile away from the farm buildings and can only be accessed on foot (no motor vehicles). 5Wolverhampton Art Gallery, Bilston Gallery & Bantock House All run by City of Wolverhampton Council, each venue offers something unique for families.

The galleries have regular events for babies and toddlers during term time and activities, workshops and art classes for older children during the school holidays and weekends. (See P10-11). www.wolverhamptonart.org.uk 6 7The Royal Air Force Museum Midlands, Cosford Local Shopping Centres Shopping Centres such as the Mander Centre, Wulfrun Centre, Telford Shopping Centre, Merry Hill Shopping Centre & Resorts World often have free activities organised for families and young children in the school holidays and occasional weekends. Look out for information about what is coming up and take advantage of the events on offer. If you do need to take the children with you on a shopping trip, it may be an excellent incentive to get the ‘boring’ bits out of the way so that they can get stuck into something more fun afterwards! A fun, award-winning day out for all the family. Entry is free and they’re open daily from 10am but you will need to book your ticket to enter before you go online.

Picking the Right Club or Hobby for Your Child Choosing a new club or hobby for your child can feel exciting - but also a little overwhelming. With so many options available, where do you even begin? The good news is that children’s clubs today are more varied than ever, meaning there truly is something for every personality, interest and ability. Here’s a guide to help you explore the possibilities and find the perfect fit. Sport & Movement For active children who love to burn energy, sports and movement clubs offer countless benefits - from fitness and coordination to teamwork and resilience. Beyond the classic sports, there’s a whole world of alternatives to try: athletics and running clubs, trampolining, cheerleading, parkour, climbing, table tennis, badminton, rugby, cricket, hockey, netball, rounders, skateboarding, scootering, cycling, fencing, archery, youth bowling and orienteering. These options are brilliant for kids who want something a little different or who thrive on movement in all forms. Creative & Arts-Based Clubs If your child comes alive when creating, consider clubs that nurture imagination. Art classes, pottery workshops, painting, drawing, music lessons, youth choirs, creative writing, photography, filmmaking, animation, all spark curiosity and build confidence. These clubs are perfect for children who love to express themselves or enjoy working with their hands and minds in inventive ways. STEM & Academic Adventures For children who enjoy exploring how things work, STEM clubs offer hands-on learning in an exciting format. Coding, robotics, science clubs, maths puzzles, chess, astronomy, nature explorers, electronics, 3D printing and CAD sessions help young minds make sense of the world while developing problem-solving skills. Outdoor & Adventure If your child prefers muddy boots and fresh air, outdoor clubs provide unforgettable experiences. Scouts, Girlguiding, forest school, bushcraft, angling, kayaking, sailing, wildlife ranger clubs, mountain biking, orienteering and horse riding are fantastic for confidence, independence and resilience. Social, Confidence & Life Skills Some clubs focus on communication, leadership and wellbeing. Drama for confidence, public speaking, first aid courses, mindfulness, yoga and youth volunteering help children build life skills that will benefit them for years to come. Tech, Gaming & Media For digital creatives, esports (gaming) clubs, game design, Minecraft groups, 3D modelling, YouTube workshops and graphic design sessions offer structured, safe ways to explore growing interests. Practical Skills Practical clubs like cooking, baking, sewing, gardening or junior carpentry teach everyday skills in a fun, hands-on environment. Need help finding a club? Just ask! If your child has a club they LOVE & would like to be featured in the next Raring2go! magazine, please tell me about it via kidderminster@raring2go.co.uk - I’d be delighted to include it soon! Some activities above may not yet have weekly clubs in our area, or may only be available for older children. If you can’t find a local class, try looking in nearby places such as Halesowen or Bromsgrove, enjoy simple versions of the hobby at home together, or explore holiday clubs and after-school sessions where many offer a brilliant “taster menu” of sports, crafts and new experiences. Local libraries may be an option for Lego/STEM If your child attends a club or class they LOVE and would like to write a review to be featured in Raring2go! please tell me about it via wolverhampton@raring2go.co.uk They could win a £10 National Book Token! 18 raring2go.co.uk Raring2go!
