 | Silly Symbolic Play
|
By the time your child is a toddler, they can start to think in symbols. (This drawing of a dog in a book stands for a dog in real life!). Engage them in pretend play to support this skill. (This banana is a phone! This block is a blueberry that your stuffed animal really wants to snack on!) Make it silly and fun.
