?I received a sample for this review/feature. Opinions expressed are my own.
As a child I always loved pretend play. I have always had an overactive imagination. With imaginative play, kids are free to be anyone and do anything. They believe that anything is possible ? because with pretend play, it really is! I have found two new products to help encourage your child’s creativity the Yookidoo? Submarine Spray Station and the HABA’s Luca Baby Carrier.
Now you can make bath time a nautical adventure with the battery operated Yookidoo? Submarine Spray Station! It has a circulating pump system that attaches to the bottom of the tub and draws water up through a yellow submarine. The submarine draws water into the diver shower head and as your child squeezes the sides of the diver it makes a gentle stream.? This stream is the beginning of?their own in-tub washing station, car wash, rainstorm, or anything else their imaginations can create. My favorite feature is the driver because it can also help with rinsing your child’s hair. My two-year-old and six-year-old both loved playing with this smart toy. I love it because it encourages exploration of cause and effect and improves fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem solving skills. The kids loved the water station because you put the water in yourself using a funnel that comes with the bath toy, and they get to watch the eyes and the spray come out as if you were in a carwash. Yookidoo? Submarine Spray Station is designed for ages 2-6 years and it is available online on Amazon.
HABA’s Luca Baby Carrier is the perfect accessory for little mommies playing house. My niece loves her babies, and this was the perfect gift for her so that she is able to keep her babies with her. This cushioned carrying seat is for 15 inch HABA dolls and others of that size, made of washable polyester. It rests comfortably around her neck with a simple and safe hook and loop fastener that she can take off or put on with ease. It features an elastic front pouch for a secure hold and to make it easier for younger children to take their babies out. The Luca Baby Carrier is designed for ages 18 months- 4 years and is available online at HABA.? These are just a couple ideas on how to encourage pretend play with your children.
