ways to encourage imaginative play

Dustyn has a HUGE imagination. When he was little I would always pretend play with him. Whether he made me something to eat in his play kitchen or wanted me to play dinosaurs in the Jurassic time period. I am excited to find new ways to encourage imaginative play with Prestyn.

Ways To Encourage Imaginative Play

Dustyn is a pretty picky eater so I always worry if he is getting enough calcium and vitamins. He isn’t a huge milk drinker, but he loves drinking it with Nesquik. I feel good giving him Nesquik because that means he gets plenty of calcium from the milk itself, plus iron, vitamin C, vitamin B, copper, and manganese.

Ways To Encourage Imaginative Play

Let them play with their food.

Imagine with them, it gives them a good start.

Limit screen time. Have your child make a book instead.

Rename dinosaurs, or whatever you kids are interested in.

Go on a nature walk. Collect items in the bag and have your child tell you a story about them.

Provide your child with arts and crafts. Blocks, sand, paint, playdoh, etc have endless possibilities.

    Great ideas! We love dress up clothes/costumes. Even the parents get involved sometimes. ;)

    I am getting better about letting the kids just have at it when I get the markers and craft things out. It's tough sometimes because I can't stand the mess, but I know I just have to let go!

We saw a third eye doctor. We are going to try glasses for two months and also try to prevent her from closing or covering her left eye. Along with having her focus on something brought to her nose throughout the day. Then recheck. She did mention alternate patching. Even though they see it in both eyes it is more prominent in her left eye. If neither one is helping then we will do surgery.

20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. 20|365 Annelyn did amazing at the allergist today. I felt so bad when they were poking her back. I shared a photo in my stories of her back. They tested for dairy, eggs, green beans and pork. She previously had a reaction to green beans and bacon so they wanted to check that. The dairy and egg still had a reaction, but the doctor feels it is small enough that we can start trying eggs and dairy in small portions. Her egg reaction is a little less than dairy so we are going to try that first. 

I let her pick out a toy and she picked this baby yoda.
