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!

and remember, if you aren’t physically disabled or neurodivergent but you suffer from mental illness, this is still your month! the blue stripe on the disability flag represents YOU!

able bodied, neurotypical, and mentally stable people may reblog but don’t derail or be disrespectful. this isn’t your month.

HUOHUO IS SO ADORABLE.... SEEING HER I JUST HAD TO MAKE AGERE HCS OF HER!!

I love the term boyre and getting to enjoy the woes of boyhood I never got to, playing with my toy dinos and making mud pies. But I also like to have tea parties and play with my barbies, and I'm lucky enough to be able to do both with full love and support.

And I want other regressors to be able to do the same knowing that it's okay. You're valid and I support you.

And I truly mean that. Whether you're a little boy who plays with dinos or dolls, a little girl who plays fairies or pirates, or a little kid who does a mix of it all, I love you, I support you and I'm proud of you.

Take back your childhood however you want, and do it knowing that you're perfect however you choose to do it. - Mikey

or as a response to trauma,

or to heal your inner child,

or to cope with mental or physical illness,

or to make up for a lost childhood,

or to feel safe,

or just for fun…

your regression is valid. 🫶
