4 top toys to spark imaginative play

Inspiring little minds to create fantastic worlds and characters for pretend play can foster a lifetime of imagination and social skills. Whether they are slaying dragons and storming castle or running registers at the local market, children have a natural desire to play out scenes from story books and from watching their favorite grown-ups.

There are some incredible toys and games that bring pretend play to a new level of creativity.  

Pretending to be a handyman or hair stylist just got a major imagination upgrade with these chair covers. The durable covers fit most dining chairs with velcro straps securing them in place. All sides of the covers provide bright graphics and pockets for a fully interactive space. The shop offers covers to transform your dining room into a bakeshop, beauty salon, market, handyman workbench or a pet hospital. They even have adorable matching aprons for each profession.


The best part about these covers, aside from the fact they are machine washable which is a huge plus, is they don't take up any extra space. Use your existing chair and voila, your child has a colorful space to pretend all day.

I wish I was the mom that saved paper towel rolls and made brilliant creative projects with my son. But truth be told, if I was left with a pile of string, cardboard and glue and all the time in the world, I still wouldn't know what to do with it. Thank goodness Playdate in a Box heard my cries.

Each box comes with supplies (and instructions) for your child and a friend to create costumes and accessories. Kids can choose from themes including pirates, superheroes, and rock stars. The make-your-own system has easy to follow instructions.
