hi....Do lots of sensory play...like water play, sand play, paper tearing, paper crumpling,playdough,rolling pin, all these help in activating brain cells which help in overall development of kids...speech development is also part of brain development.
Also try to interrupt less when the kid is trying to talk...let them finish their sentences on their own.
If they use only one word to talk...u encourage them by making a full sentence..e.g if they say water u say do u want to drink water or say do u want to pour water..basically provide more vocabulary ..
Talk talk n talk to yr kids...
