One morning, the Lil' Tiger woke up and asked if she could have the empty box sitting next to the door. I asked her what does she want to do with it and she smiled and said, "It's my car, mummy". I told her she could have it and she dragged it to her colouring table, took her crayons and started decorating it. After that, she turned it around and sat in it making car noises.
I asked her where is she going in her car and she promptly told me that she is going to the shops to get her milk for nap time. After a while, she got her dolls and told me that they were going on a ride with her to the shops and also to the playground.
It's amazing how a box could keep her occupied for hours. She was talking to herself and to her babies, pushing and pulling the box around the house and at the end, she told me it was her bed for nap time and she was going to sleep in the box with her babies and that I should cover them up with a blanket because they were cold!
Her imagination never cease to amaze me. It's true what they say that you do not need expensive toys for kids, all you need is something simple, like a box, and let their imagination run wild! I hope she never stops using her imagination. Watching and observing her and her imagination is so satisfying.
Do your kids do the same? What have they imagined lately?
