Playgroup Materials Checklist for DHH Infants and Toddlers

A well-stocked playgroup room becomes a strong foundation for facilitating playgroups. Use this checklist to gather and arrange materials that support shared attention, visual communication, and family participation for Deaf and hard of hearing infants and toddlers. It covers core play materials like board books and pretend-play sets, visual supports such as name and emotion cards with signs, mirrors placed at child height, sensory and motor toys, and comfortable spaces that welcome families. Use it to build a space where everyday play naturally grows language, connection, and early communication.
