Art is a great medium for children to express their imaginations!
- Puppets. You can purchase puppets, or you can make your own with items you already have lying around the house, like oven mitts, flashlights, and whatever else your children can think of!
- Story time. Make story time interactive! Rather than reading a book, mix it up and act out your children’s favorite story instead. Don’t limit story time to just books! Let your children draw from recent experiences, which are great for pretend play.
- Objects from nature. Collect things from nature, such as a small rock, flower or twig. Help your children create a story about the objects as he or she draws them from the bag.
- A box of fun.
You don't have to purchase imaginative play toys for little ones to benefit. Large boxes lend themselves to all types of pretend play. It could be a spaceship, car or cave. You can find large boxes at moving-supply stores or pick up free ones from an appliance outlet.
The best part of pretend play is that it's all about creativity and imagination! While it’s great to have a few activities to reference, don’t feel limited to these ideas. Chances are, your children will have their own ideas for pretend play!
