As part of the fun of being a Fisherprice Mom, surprise packages arrive at our door once and a while. These packages have toys of course, and when a box of toys shows up it sends the kids into a frenzy. Can we say excited?
We opened the box on a Saturday morning and spent the entire morning playing with the toys (while daddy and I played, we got to enjoy some coffee of course!).
No matter what the toy (or not a toy – boxes, potatoes, ribbon – it all is fun to them) I am always amazed at the way they play using their imagination. The way they pretend what their characters are doing, or who they are pretending to be. When my son asks his sister ‘want to play’? She always responds with ‘what I going to be?’. Give her a character and the play begins!
I love hearing them change their voices to represent different people and my son sets the scene well. Imagination brings them together and it melts my heart.
And my nerdy self was as excited as the kids when we opened the Batman and Joker toys. It’s about time my kids get into the superheroes/comic book characters I think. Typically The Joker tries to do something bad (it’s often not explained what) and Batman comes to save the day. The Joker usually escapes. And somehow the kids thing Batman can fly (‘he has a CAPE mom!!!’) but we’ll let that slide for now.
What toys bring out your child’s imagination?
