You might have seen our treehouse post yesterday? Needless to say, the jungle animals have been enjoying many impromptu gatherings in and around their tree house over the past few days! What I love about open ended toys, is their capacity to encourage a diverse range of play experiences, limited only by the child’s own imagination. And so our doll house tea cups and birthday cake fit just as nicely into playing jungle tea parties as they do a party in the doll house, and Immy regularly takes toys from one set or area and ‘repurposes’ them in another – imagination and creativity in action.
How does your child ‘repurpose’ their favourite toys in new ways?
