Thanks Acacia! It was good to see you guys today, even if we didn’t get to sit and chat.

Definitely going to try this one with Everett. He is just getting into imaginative play- pretending to go to someone’s house, go to the store, etc. And he loves to tell stories, which I think is imaginative play in some form. Maybe…. I should help him act out the stories he comes up with! That would be fun. Thanks for the inspiration!

I think I’ll be way more excited about this than Kieran – I think it sounds awesome!

Poor woman – I have managed to keep my yarn put up thus far. I did, however, knit Kieran a beautiful scarf that has just disappeared. He wore it once – when it was done I tried it on him. And now it’s gone :( Heartbreaking!

Kieran’s not quite at the level your kids are, but we are playing “store” and we do make our trains/puppets/dolls talk during play. Someday!

What an incredibly fun-sounding idea! Totally something I will try this week, especially since I’m sick and can’t play with them too much right now.

Lilly does this on her own with cords she gathers from around the room and the doorknob.

My kids do room weaving, or something very much like it, with my yarn. The difference is that it’s not usually a pre-approved activity. Let me tell you, finding all your precious yarn ‘woven’ around the house is not much fun. Maybe I should stick to fort-building for play, less baggage for me. ;)

My kids like to act out parts of movies and like to pretend to do everyday things like play store, garage sale, restaurant, doctor, house. And they are always saying they are somebody other than themselves, whether another family member or a movie character or an animal or just a random name.
