Play time for little ones!
╔═ . ☾ . ══════════════════
Hello little ones! feeling playful but aren't sure what to do? That's ok, sometimes playing sounds a lot easier than it feels, so i put together a little list of super fun, super easy things to do!
🖍﹒Stuffie passports: Line up whatever toys or stuffies you have and make them tiny passports with paper and pencils! you can even laminate them with tape if you want!
🧸﹒Sensory play: Try filling a bowl with water, add bubbles if you want, and find some watersafe things around the house! things like cotton balls, toys, paper shapes and sponges, see which ones float, which ones sink, or fill the sponge up with water an squeeze it out over the bowl, it can be a really nice texture!
🖍﹒Build a fort: it doesn't have to be fancy, just a few blankets, a few pillows and all your stuffed friends, bring a show you like and some snacks!
🧸﹒Simple crafts: make something silly like a sock puppet or if you can, get a blank bird house or fairy door to decorate, you can find them in most craft stores!
🖍﹒Old game consoles: playing on old consoles like game boys, DS's or old ipad games can be a great way to spend time while your regressed, especially for the little ones who have a hard time staying focused
🧸﹒Scavenger hunts: write a list of things you can find around your house- paper, pencils, stuffies ect, and go on a scavenger hunt to find them! count as many blue things you can see or collect every paper clip you can find!
🖍﹒Doodling: fill a page with doodles, whatever you think looks nice like a sky of stars, a field of flowers or all your favorite characters on one piece of paper!
🧸﹒Draw your own story: make a little comic of you and your stuffies on an adventure, where would you go? what would you do? who would you meet?
🖍﹒Make believe (if you can): if you feel up to it, try playing a game of make believe! it can be something simple like playing house with a few toys or setting up a little tea party on a blanket, what do you talk about? maybe one toy has a story they're itching to tell, or maybe another toy wants to hear about the show you just finished watching!
🧸﹒Remember that there is no "right way" to play. whatever feels fun to you, whatever makes you feel ok, do it. your way of playing is just as real as everyone else's.
Have fun my darling stars, and sweet dreams!
