Many thanks for all your replies and suggestions! My child is almost 3 years old, the exact age can be seen on the left below my name (I don´t see it right now while I type, otherwise I would repeat it here). I think I´ll go for the word magnets with the synonyms then, sounds really like a good idea and the letter size is big enough. I don´t have any Walmarts or Dollar stores here (Europe ;-) but thanks for putting the info so that others from the US can use it !

EL17 - Sorry for the late reply. I used to make up my own stories for my son while he closed his eyes and imagined the images to my story. It could be at bedtime or just some quiet time during the day. As far as I recall, the important part of imaging is to engage all the senses. Don't just talk about things your child should see, but what you can taste, smell, feel and hear. For example... Today, we are sitting in a forest. There is a waterfall nearby and the water is crashing down upon the rocks with a sound like thunder. The air smells crisp and clear. We go over to the water and taste the icy cold mountain water.... and so on. Another thing you can do, if you don't want to come up with your own scenarios is to play audio stories. Learn Out Loud has a lot you can download - some are free. http://kids.learnoutloud.com/I hope that helps! and your link is a class of its own, Shen-Li, thank you so much! Would be a pity to be missed by members that are not interested in my subject line of imaginery scenery meditation - is there a general thread with audio where we could repeat your link, something like "library all links" started by Ed so everybody will see it?
