Leighton drives to the party
Leighton just picked up Ilyssa in her brand-new convertible car and they’re off to a holiday celebration with friends! Butas she drives through town, Leighton starts to notice that they’re going in circles… Oh no! They’re lost! Can you help Leighton and Ilyssa find their way to the party?
This open-ended play idea can help kids problem-solve – and it can teach them about the importance of teamwork! As you play, ask children questions such as “What should Leighton do?” or “What can help them find the right road?” and guide them as they answer.
Heather goes glamping
This holiday season, Heather and her friends decided to celebrate by going glamping! They stocked up on yummy snacks, connected their camper to the car, and hit the open road. They can’t wait to cozy up and read, cook up delicious meals, and gaze at the starry winter sky. Maybe they’ll even see a shooting star!
This play idea is great for encouraging a sense of discovery! Reenacting a story about camping or glamping is an opportunity to talk about exploration, nature, and geography as well. It can even prepare little ones for their first camping trip if there’s one in the works!
