this is not a guide to help force yourself into little space. you’ll be able to regress again when you’re ready ☺️. it’s okay to have a “drought.” relax and be kind to yourself

shop for little items (or add them to your wishlist). when you’re big, it can be easier to decipher what you really want from what you don’t need. and you can get a treat for yourself when you regress again.

wash your stuffies. your cute little stuffies need baths just like you. and when you’re little again they’ll smell all clean and fresh.

watch old shows or movies that bring back happy childhood memories. it’s fun to get nostalgic sometimes.

keep a little journal. write about that things you like to do when regressed, doodle, do whatever you want!

make some rules. big you can make very reasonable rules for little you. if you have a carer, run the rules by them. or, revise some rules! remove rules that you think you don’t need anymore and add rules that will be more helpful.

✨️ got rid of your childhood stuff in an attempt to "grow up"

If you regress/dream to an older age range, you might not play pretend as often, if at all. That said, there’s no reason why you still can’t enjoy your plushies’ company.

Cuddle them as you go to sleep. This one is pretty obvious, but I think it deserves a place on this list.

Make them little Kandi collars with their name in letter beads. You can make a matching bracelet or necklace for yourself too!

On that note, sew clothes for them and dress them up. This one might require some supervision because of the pins and needles, but it’s usually worth it.

Set them up so that they look like they’re doing the same activity as you are. (Putting a controller in front of them if you’re gaming, pretending to feed them bits of your meal, setting them up in front of the TV so they can enjoy the programs with you, etc) This one veers into pretend play, but it’s not as involved so I figured I’d include it.

Put them into your purse/backpack/bag so they can keep you company on your errands or other trips you take.

Set them up in nature or around the house and take photos of them. You can even scrapbook with the photos.

If they are sturdy enough, give them a bubble bath and then either stick them in a pillowcase and put it in the dryer, or air dry them in the sun. This is good for bonding with them, and general maintenance to keep them clean.

Write about them. You can make little character profiles for them, or even full stories! This is good if you have a hard time playing pretend but you still want to feature them in imaginative contexts.

Draw/paint pictures of them and hang them on your wall!

Finally, if this is something you’re up for, set up a side blog for your favorite plushie and document their life online. Make blog posts from their perspective, have them take “selfies” etc!
