I have a 1 and a 7 yr old
i am homeschooling my 7 yr old girl she loves books and stuffed animals and has a big imagination she tells me lots of stories involving her stuffed animals and stories about the books she reads..
I have an almost 4 year old daughter. She seems to become very imaginative when playin with stuffed toys, dolls or little cars. Anything that can have a voice put to it brings out her imagination. She also enjoys her Picasso magnet tiles, she really enjoys creating new spaces. Liked both pages on FB.
I just placed an order with them a few minutes ago! Love their website! My kids are 4 and 6 and they love playing doctor. They use dolls, and then various blocks to play doctor, and often they use each other. One a patient, one the doctor, and use blocks to do the checks.
Like both FB pages 🙂
My kids are 12, 9 and 7. They enjoy plain paper and coloring tools. Also anything with water! They like imaginative play with all kinds of things around the house.

My daughter is 6 and my son is 8. My son especially likes things to do with science — microscopes, butterfly kits, etc. My daughter is more into craft stuff and weaving kits. Both have a vivid imagination.
I like you both on Facebook as Pudyqat Peacock
