July 2nd, 2009 Picnic Play Posted by Melitsa in book review, Cooking, Memes, play activities, pretend play, Thought of the week

The Wordless Wednesday photo was when the mates come round.

This is BG when he was just 3. We’d planned a teddy bears picnic with friends at our local stream but for various reasons his playmates couldn’t make it so we rescheduled.

We had our own pretend picnic at home.

Not every disappointment turns out so well.

These books have great quick activities and pretend play ideas. Great for those cancelled playdates and you suddenly have a few hours with your little one.
