Today I was supposed to take my son sliding, but since it was way too cold to stay outside, we decided to have some fun indoors. I let him plan the day and we had a great time together.
First, he cooked breakfast for me as you can see in the photo below. It was a special recipe with a secret ingredient. Later on, he revealed that it was love.
We read a few books and practiced writing and reading new short words on his drawing board.
Then we moved on to drawing and coloring. I enjoyed this activity as I got to do some doodling while he was improving his fine motor skills and handwriting.
Later on, we played with play-doh. This was his favourite part of the day. Kids love play-doh!
We recreated some of his favourite cartoon and book characters.
Then we engaged in pretend play for a while. I always encourage him to use his imagination.
Pretend play builds great learning skills. It enables kids to manage their emotions, solve problems, build self-esteem, understand the power of the language and boosts their creativity.
By pretending to be in someone else's shoes, kids can blend skills and knowledge together.
Today he chose to be the owner of a lollipop shop. It was a great opportunity to recap his counting skills and check his ability of reading social cues, as I played the role of various customers.
Towards the late afternoon we ventured outside for a short walk, as the weather got a bit warmer.
On the way back, I could not help myself from putting a smile upon the windshield and side door of the car.
What about you? How was your day? Did you have any fun today?
