Children work with a puppet to troubleshoot mistakes the puppet makes when building a pretend pizza.

• Use cardboard pieces rather than playdough to support easier grasping.
• Plastic gloves for children reluctant to touch playdough.

• Alternate the activity with time to play in open-ended ways to increase engagement.
• Support steps with a first/then visual board.
• Encourage children to use verbal language, sign, gesture, or AAC to let you know they see a mistake.
