Small world play


These days, Dino Boy is generally self directed in his craft and play
He will ask for some materials and then immerse himself in creating


Sometimes though, I still want to join in and craft alongside him *smile*
And what I make... like a lemon tree... can spur his imagination


Until there is a whole orchard of beautiful trees heavy with fruit
And bees busily buzzing by


Often he uses his creations to tell stories
Mostly to himself... and I hear bits and pieces as I work nearby


Happy days,
Kelly

  8. Very happy days indeed.
    Jack is the same. He will play happily building and creating but also loves when I join in. And he'll often be inspired by what I make too :) These are lovely fruit trees. I could see Jack making something like this.... oh and we have those same buttons :)
