The ability to express wants and needs is as basic as communication gets. Help your early communicators practice the core word, need, in a fun and engaging activity. Kids with more advanced language skills can use their problem-solving skills to determine what object the girls need.

Children with developmental delays, apraxia, autism, Down syndrome, and individuals using augmentative devices would benefit from these simplified illustrations and vocabulary.
