You can incorporate poems or phrases from books into your daily routine. For instance, when toddlers refuse to do something, you can respond by saying: “You don’t want to do this just like the tortoise didn’t want to?” or watch a butterfly together while reciting the poem “Ba elay parpar nechmad vetiyyel li al hayad” [Lovely butterfly came round and take a walk on my hand”].
Stand in front of the mirror and try to make funny faces. Each time, announce a different type of face—scary, tired, offended, happy. You can also start without a mirror, and then check if the face looks the way you imagined.
