  • Learn and practise sentence structure through play

    Build a Sentence helps children understand how words fit together to form meaningful sentences, supporting both spoken language and written expression.

    Each level is carefully graded to increase in complexity, allowing learners to build skills step by step.

    Level 1 focuses on subject and predicate matching. It includes 30 subject cards and 30 predicate cards to create simple sentences.

    Level 2 introduces nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. It includes 240 colour-coded cards, with green for nouns, blue for verbs, yellow for adjectives and red for adverbs.

    Level 3 expands to include nouns, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, articles, prepositions, conjunctions and punctuation. It includes 360 double-sided word cards, colour-coded for easy identification, with green for nouns, blue for verbs, yellow for adjectives, red for adverbs, purple for conjunctions and white for punctuation.

    Children can create standard sentences or experiment with “silly” sentence combinations, making learning engaging and flexible. The endless possible combinations encourage creativity while reinforcing grammar, sentence structure and language development.

    The thick, durable cards are designed for repeated use and are suitable for individual learning or small group work. Build a Sentence is ideal for therapy settings, classroom use or learning at home.

5 stars!

Great product! We have only had this for a week and my son loves it! He has ADHD and ASD and struggles at school and he has been wearing this nearly all day at school and talking to his teacher she has noticed he isn’t as hyper and fidgety in class! 10/10 recommend!

Magic!

My kids love this... and me haha I shocked them, when I drew a picture, tipped it upside down, it looked like it had disappeared but to turn it the right way, and the magnets kept the picture in place. They thought I was magic ✨️

For all ages!

Great for my 5 year old who needs to work on his fine motor skills and being creative. The tap tap set is also loved by my eldest, 13 years old who loves a therapeutic activity before bed. He loves to tap tap away.

Why didn’t I buy this sooner

Since putting this on my son’s bed it has made a huge difference. We have also found if he is getting overwhelmed he is now retreating to his bed. He says “it feels like a big hug”. We opted for the double as we have a very thick (60cm) king single mattress.

The best compression swing on the market!

This swing is the absolute bees knees of sensory seeking/ risky play/ calm down activity. It is used multiple times a day by both my kiddos, and is incredibly durable. I cannot recommend it enough!!

Perfect

This is absolutely perfect for my five year old. It is considerably easier and faster to brush his teeth, and it enables him to brush his own teeth more often, and with better results. This fosters his independence, while aiding his fine motor deficit. I would highly recommend it.

Perfect for my little one

I purchased this after my 3 year old began chewing his comforter during moments of heightened emotion. He took to the bright colour and fun shape immediately and seemed to find the chew helpful.

Brilliant game

I bought this on recommendation from Starfish as I was looking for a game to help my two girls play together. It’s been such a helpful and fun game — they have to work together to complete it, so no arguments about competing against each other!
