The ALL GONE Kit
The mealtime word that talks about things that disappear
Why “all gone” matters
'All gone' (and its cousin 'all done') lets children talk about endings — finished food, empty cups, vanished ice cream. It's one of the earliest two-word phrases, it transfers perfectly to real mealtimes, and pretend food play gives you unlimited practice without the mess. Pretend food and popping bubbles create natural 'all gone!' moments every thirty seconds.
How to teach it — 4 simple steps
- 1
Pretend-eat with gusto: 'Mmm mmm mmm... ALL GONE!' Show empty hands dramatically.
- 2
Feed a teddy who eats everything: 'Teddy ate it ALL. All gone!'
- 3
Pause before the last bite: 'One more, then...?' — wait for 'all gone!'
- 4
Use it at real meals and bath time ('water all gone!') so the word follows them everywhere.
