Phone

We were at Lowe's and Cole saw this display. He grabbed the shower attachment and called his friend Tyler.

That reminded me of something I used when I was teaching. In the plumbing aisle there is a pipe that looks like elbow macaroni. Kids can use it while reading out loud so they can hear themselves...and you can't hear them! (They have to whisper or talk quietly.) It is also good to help children hear sounds...you talk into one end and the other end is on their ear. Of course Cole only wants to use it as a phone. And he refuses to talk quietly. That boy!
