The Woods

The woods is a place with many trees or a forest.

Disappearing woman

Disappear means that we can’t see you anymore. If you walk into the woods far enough, it looks like you disappear into the woods.

Rattle

Rattle is to make a series of hard, short knocking sounds. This baby rattle makes a rattle sound. Rattle snakes also make a rattling sound.

Worried

Worried means thinking a lot about something a little scary. This little girl looks worried.

Congratulations – you are helping your child grow a large vocabulary!
