Here is a pretty simple activity I like to play with my 2-3 year old speech kiddos. This looks like a random crazy mess, and it pretty much is...but the kiddos love it. (Be careful, some kids still like to put EVERYTHING in their little mouths).
I put pinto beans and toy bugs inside a small storage container. You can make it more fun for the older kids by having them find the bugs with a shovel or play tweasers, then they can put them inside a "bug collection jar". After we get all the bugs/snakes out, we "plant flowers" (cut fake flowers and place them into the beans).
There are also butterflies in there...but this kiddo wanted to put them inside the container, instead of throw them in the air to catch them with a play net.
This kiddo also put two cut paper towel rolls inside, and began sticking things down and pouring beans in them to see what would happen.
Sometimes if you just supply a whole bunch of random stuff and sit back...this is the awesomeness that happens. Child creativity, pretend play, and a whole lot of speech fun!
