About Little Citizens:
“Little Citizens Boutique is an online idea and toy store that celebrates imagination in children. We’re on a mission to bring more creativity into the world.
Luckily the world is full of genius designers making inspiring creative toys and gifts. They are completely underrepresented in the mainstream, so we shout from the rooftops about them, publishing exclusive interviews and photoshoots of their workshops and families.
We want to connect the makers with families who also put art and creativity at the centre of their lives. Carefully curated, our selection is based on research.
According to studies, unstructured play is essential for developing Executive Function which is a better indicator of a child’s success than even IQ.”
“We look for toys that last through different development stages, that can be played with in more ways than one, that delight the entire family and make everyone want to get on their hands and knees and play.
Our toys have your kid’s best interest at heart, they encourage children to discover themselves and the world around them. And to retain that wonderful imagination well into adulthood. Together we’re making powerful memories; we hope you’ll join us.”

My boys are 5 and 3. They enjoy legos, and playing with game pieces. Not necessarily playing the board game but taking the pieces from the game and taking them off to play with them in their room in some other creative way :)!
Michele Cherie
It’s fantastic to see more support for creative play. My children are 1, 4, and 7, and this month they are thrilled to play outside with the cherry blossoms. My son uses a soft frisbee to knock them down like confetti, and my daughter leaves branches of blooms on the neighbors’ doorsteps with handwritten notes. Baby brother just wanders barefoot over the petals. We’re all grateful for spring!
Alicia Peyrano
Thank you so much Michele, I can really picture your yard. Hurray for Spring!
Nicole
My little guy is 4, and loves trucks, dinkies and small things like people/animals. He does their pretend voices and loves making them interact. A lot like me as a little one! We are both looking forward to warmer weather so we can get outside in his sandbox again

My daughter just turned 8 in February and it’s fort-building ALL THE TIME. The cushions in the den are constantly draped in blankets, there’s a house made of a pipe and socket building kit (Christmas present) in the front room, and some sort of sprawling fairy playground in the front yard.

My boys are 8, 6, 5, and 2 and they absolutely love Legos. Anything that inspires building in this house is a huge hit.

My 5yo and 10yo spend much of their day building with Lego, playing board games, and running around the house pretending to be imaginary characters battling evil forces. At the beach, they love getting tossed by the waves and digging in the sand with their bare hands. On our street, they race around with their friends on their bikes or scooters, or sit quietly on the curb talking about their favourite things or their plans for the future.

I love that they “celebrate imagination”! We feel the same way about the things our kids play with and try to choose and make quality items.
My kids are currently 8, 6, and 2. They have varying interests, but still love to play together most of the time. Depending on the day and their inspiration, they will build forts, dress-up and re-enact movies or stories, use the play kitchen and playdough to make “meals” (we’ve been watching cooking shows and baking in the REAL kitchen), build with blocks or LEGOs, use dolls or figures to create a scene, etc. As the weather gets nicer, they love to be outside building forts in the woods, riding bikes, blowing bubbles, digging in the sand, swimming.

Leslie
My daughters are 5 and 9. They love to create worlds and role play and pretend. They do it with everything! They do with their dollhouses and lego and their stuffed animals and salt dough and paper dolls and pieces of fuzz. For some reason they really like to build the worlds using the four chairs from the table in their room. It’s a constant negotiation of what the roles are and who does what. This is their favorite way to play and pretty much always has been. And I “liked” Little Citizens on FB. Thanks!
Treena
My littles are 6, 4, 2 and 4 months… Right now they love playing outside, using their imaginations to keep them entertained 🙂
Tamara Abboud
My kids are 8, 6, 3, and 1. Imagination play is their favorite along with Legos and magnatiles. And what I mean by imaginary play is they use non-toys or toys in non-traditional ways. Rocks, sticks become something else along with the random screw they find, the spoon from kitchen drawer, and an old shoe. Really anything seems to go for them. I also try for daily time to be “bored ” and unstructured play time so their creative juices can flow. 🙂

Hi! I have four children, ages 16, 13, 11, 5, and 1 month. As much as it drives me nuts, the 16 year old enjoys “screen time” more than anything else. The 13 year old is my outside guy. He likes baseball and will busy himself outside practicing, etc. My 11 year old is my creative one and currently is really into making movies with his best friend. The 5 year old loves his Legos. I strongly desire to instill creativity and imagination into my younger children especially, where I may have failed to do that with my olders. Thanks!

We often head outside to pretend play on their fort, and make up games using the monkey balls that cover our backyard, or ride bicycles to the neighborhood playground. We get to do more of this now, since becoming a home schooling family this year!

My kids are 8,6, and 3. The 8 & 6 year old (boys) are fairly Lego obsessed, with occasional breaks to fight a mock battle in the yard. My 3 year old girl loves to play “family” with ANYTHING, but will occasional join one of her brothers’ sides in their battles, and it is VERY funny to try to hear the other brother try to talk her into “defecting’ to his side! 🙂
