We made reindeer waffles today at Small Talk! 🎄

Reminder that language therapy can be as simple as inviting your kiddo into the kitchen with you!

This holiday season bake, cook and decorate with your little ones. Talk through what you are doing, ask them questions and embrace the mess and chaos. It's our favorite here at Small Talk!
