Small world play

 

These days, Dino Boy is generally self directed in his craft and play
He will ask for some materials and then immerse himself in creating
Sometimes though, I still want to join in and craft alongside him *smile*
And what I make… like a lemon tree… can spur his imagination
Until there is a whole orchard of beautiful trees heavy with fruit
And bees busily buzzing by
Often he uses his creations to tell stories
Mostly to himself… and I hear bits and pieces as I work nearby

 

Happy days,
Kelly

    The play world is simply the best and fosters their imagination to the max

    My Cammy is a creator too. What do you do with all of Dino Boy’s creations.

    Those fruit trees are adorable.

    Very happy days indeed.
    Jack is the same. He will play happily building and creating but also loves when I join in. And he’ll often be inspired by what I make too 🙂 These are lovely fruit trees. I could see Jack making something like this…. oh and we have those same buttons 🙂

    Adorable. I loved reading that you could overhear some great conversations. That’s the type of things I love that come from activities like this. Thanks.
