Imagination

When the young mind is allowed to fly free and wild with imaginative thoughts, the inner views of the outside world become a huge playground. Let your tot dream, placing no limits on their thoughts, inventions they create, or masterpieces they paint. When a child's imagination is encouraged, it continues to grow and produce creatively. What you see, you can be!

Imagination Game

What you need:
+Imagination
+You
+Your child or children
+Fun and silly questions

Ask your child silly questions to see how they use their imagination and to encourage them that using their imagination is perfectly acceptable. I had so much fun asking Cali silly questions, we both were giggling with some of her answers.

Examples:
1)Cali would you rather be a bird or a bear? BIRD

2)Cali would you rather be a dog or a cat? A TAC (she calls them Tac's, its Cat backwards :] )

3)Cali would you rather be a duck or a fish? Knowing she likes both I was excited to see what she would come up with, she said she would be a DUCKFISH, of course!

Let your child engage, explore and use their imagination as they wish, it is a critical part of self learning.
