What is the Creative Ways to Play card?
The Creative Ways to Play guide offers a few ways to enhance the reading experience with your little one to foster learning and development through play! The “Explore” provides prompts to support your child’s play with the props. The “Imagine” section shares different ways to engage your child’s imagination through the story and play. The “Build” section provides your little one with the opportunity to explore and learn through hands-on play that engages their senses. The “Discover” section provides questions for you to engage with your littles throughout the story. Lastly, the “Enrich” section identifies elementary educational skills (e.g. counting / sight words) and character building opportunities that are identified within the story; this is one of our favorite ways to help our littles grow!

“We absolutely love playing with our Little Tales kit! My 3-year-old enjoys creating different birthday parties with the props while I read the story. As a pediatric OT, I love the kinesthetic and sensory elements of play while encouraging kiddos to use their imagination! Highly recommend!”
