What present was too small/big/messy/…? 2. Show a toy car and ask Is car a perfect present? (No) Why? (Elicit - It’s too small), etc. 3. You need a sack with lots of different presents. Let children open the boxes and say if the present perfect or not. Ask why. First use the toys from the book, then use any toys or other things your children can speak about. For example: This book isn’t perfect because it’s old/smelly, etc. Help children with prompting or questions. Now you can give real presents to your children!
