Summary:
Many adults dread laundry day, but my young kids love it! While it’s another task that we struggle to find time to complete, young kids delight in the opportunity to load clothes into the washing machine, move those washed clothes to the dryer, and push the buttons to start the washer and dryer (my kids’ favorite). Even more, they love playing with cardboard boxes, so I turned two big boxes into a laundry day pretend play activity.

My kids love imagining and pretending to do grown-up jobs. We had fun with our vet clinic last week, so this week we did a post office dramatic play activity.
To set up, I placed writing utensils, envelopes, printable postcards, stickers, pretend mailbox, watercolors, and a white crayon on their desk.

Summary:
It is one of those centers that is so fun and complex that the kids play with it for almost an hour and a half. In fact, it’s so much fun that I’ve had neighborhood kids (all the way to 6th grade) ringing my doorbell this week asking to come play at preschool because they’ve heard that I have something fun set up. How great is that?!

No matter how fun tech is, imagination reigns supreme when given the opportunity, so this week I wanted to share this fun VET PRETEND PLAY PRINTABLE that you can use to spark the fun around your home. From the time your kids start making up play time, they want to be adults. They want to pretend they are Drs, waitresses, even working at Starbucks. I feel like it’s such an opportunity to encourage kids with imagination play so I am really excited to share with you the first Pretend Play Printable I have hosted.
