The most beautiful play is the inventive play of children who choose to imagine with toys in their own way. Caregivers can nurture this imaginative play by choosing open-ended playthings that allow for endless possibilities in pretend play. Share the joy of imaginative play with your children by making mindful choices when introducing new toys into your home.

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
