Sherman Oaks resident, long-time speech pathologist, and creator of My Little House and My Little Farm Activity Sets, Yvonne Johansen, visits Karen’s Toys, (1601 Ventura Blvd. #135, Encino), Saturday, September 14, 11:00 am – 12:00 noon. Children and their parents are welcome to play with My Little Farm during the one-hour event, where Ms. Johansen explains how the activity kits benefit children’s vocabulary skills, language development and sense of pretend play. Free and open to the community. For more information call Karen’s Toys at 818-906-2212 or visit http://www.karens4toys.com.

Ms. Johansen designed the kits to be a fun, pretend world that would encourage little learners to build early language skills, develop storytelling and increase vocabulary, grammar and matching skills.

Perfect for indoor and outdoor fun, My Little Farm is an interactive play set made of felt. With 32 soft stick-able pieces and a four-panel felt board that easily assembles into a reversible 3D barn and farm, kids can either match the felt pieces to the outlines on the panels, or place the felt pieces wherever they like on the free expression panels to create their own stories.
