Finding activities

I had to run out to the store the other day and my Mom was getting restless so I found these buckets with different fake fruit on each, they were mixed up so I said it was sad people mess up the employees hard work so she agreed and started to put the fruit in the proper bucket as I kept shopping next to her. I would ask her what do you have in your hand and what is its name in English since she only speaks spanish. I found something to keep her entertained as well as having her use her brain muscles to think as she she doing something. I also had her tell me the colors in spanish and English.
