An excerpt from our swim school's newsletter:
"Playing is a powerful way for children to develop creativity, initiative and imagination!
...getting your kids to begin developing their imagination doesn't have to be difficult. Try showing your children how:

~A long blue silk scarf can be a waterfall, a river, a cape, a pirate bandana, a kite (Tied to the stick to run with), or a mermaids tail...

~The sandpit can be a pirates cove with buried treasure, a bakery (Add old muffin tins, bowls spoons and measuring cups);a dinosaur garden (Use a large blue bowl of water for a pond and add a few fern leaves, sticks and rocks)

~A big cardboard box can be a rocket, a boat, a magic car or a gingerbread house..."

AND!!!!!When a 10 year girl doesn't have a little sister... her 3 year old brother gets dressed up as Britney Spears instead!
