Natural acting – how everyday routines can support imaginative play
What to do
Think about a part of the day that your toddler is familiar with, like mealtimes, bedtime, bathtime or nappy changing time; they are likely to create imaginative play based on their experiences.
Provide your toddler with familiar items related to the part of the routine, along with a teddy, doll or action figure.
Sit with them and watch to see if they develop their own play scene.
