In this series, we are exploring toys. From taking a deep-dive into the types of toys children typically engage with to setting up engaging play invitations, we’ll be looking at the purpose of toys beyond simply being a form of entertainment for children.

In this email we are going to be exploring the power of observation so that you can follow your child rather than Instagram posts! You can then use your observations to create play invitations with the toys in your play space.

We will be covering:

  • The problem with Instagram activities

  • What you can do instead

  • The power of observation - including a downloadable observation sheet

  • How to make Instagram and Pinterest activities work for you

  • What is an invitation to play?

  • Why you should start play invitations

  • How to get started

  • How frequently you should do a play invitation

  • The age recommendations for play invitations
