No worries, I've got you covered friend!
I’m super excited to share this list of articulation activities that you can incorporate while working on your speech sounds at home. This is a general list of activities I’ve used in the past and found to be successful, while also keeping the child engaged and interested.
I know sometimes that can be hard and I wanted to provide you with a few options. Here are some you can try that are functional, and they utilize resources/toys/games you probably have at home. Which is always a big plus! We all want to use what we have, if possible, because money doesn’t grow on trees and that’s precisely the purpose of this list.

*Side Note
I have several helpful resources to support you with both education and guidance related to speech and language. A lot of information, education, and instruction related to articulation, can be found in my blog post here. This post includes specific information on the hierarchy and additional supportive instructions related to articulation interventions at home.
Ok back on track...
The articulation activities are a digital PDF download that is 9 pages in length. It includes 10 fun suggestions for articulation activities to keep your child engaged and to break up the drill work. These activities incorporate using play-doh, sensory bins, games, and puzzles...all items you probably have in your home!
Isn't there something nostalgic about the smell of play-doh? It totally takes me back to elementary school and vacation bible school:)
The last 2 pages in the download are generic "Smash Mats" for you to fill in with words related to your target speech sound. You are going to need some play-doh and your articulation cards.
Print them off, fill in the blanks with your target words, practice with your child, and then let them smash away!
As you are working and playing with your child to target their speech sound, keep your sessions/activities short. Let them pick the activity, engage with them during this time, and allow other kids in the home to join in as appropriate.
This can really be a fun family approach.
I'm all about being efficient, and functional play, using resources you already own, is the perfect way to do just that. Have FUN:)
