PECS cards for Mr Potato Head

PECS cards for Mr Potato Head

These picture resources contain photographs of the different elements of the popular 'Mr Potato Head' toy, as well as 'I want' strip to allow children to request the different parts for the activity.

In addition to being a useful resource for children who use Picture Exhange Communication Systems (PECS), the picture cards are also a useful prompt for children who are learning body part vocabulary. They also provide an opportunity for teachers or support staff to provide a short sentence model to the children for their request e.g. I want the hat.

A way of further extending children's language would be to model the descriptors that relate to the items. E.g. Oh, you want the GREEN hat.
