It’s a tried-and-true DMing method to use images and physical props to increase immersion (or at the very least, understanding) as much as possible. This is where investing hard cash into miniatures and tilesets commonly comes into play, but even something as simple as a print-out of an image you found on Google can help your cause, if it fits the needs of your campaign.

DM: Fluttershy, along with some of her animal friends, are out collecting flowers for the Princess’s welcome tomorrow. You’re just about to finish up with your task when a tiny flying creature pops out from under a rock.
Fluttershy: I hide! It’s harder to attack me when I’m concealed, right??
DM: Uh… sure. Anyway, catch.
Fluttershy: Catch wha- Eek! …What… is this?
DM: It’s exactly what it looks like.
Rainbow Dash: A… stress ball with a smiley face?
Rarity: With glued-on paper wings?
DM: Okay, not EXACTLY what it looks like.
