Building a fantasy play world based on story ideas from the child herself can be immensely satisfying for the child. This activity involved painting, building, ideation, storytelling and then connecting with nature by using it as a home for her 'finds'from nature! And ofcourse, we upcycled old cardboard boxes! www.mommy-labs.com
