Making up stories with your child is a great way to expand their imagination. When you are in the car and need a way to keep your child from getting bored, you can always make up a story. Start them off by saying "Once upon a time there was a dog in the park." Then ask them several questions like what the dog looked like, what he was doing, and where he is going. If you have anything to use as a prop, such as something with pictures on it, it may help you make up your story as you go. As you are making up a story encourage your child to fill in with ideas of their own. This kind of creative play is sure to boost any child's imagination. |
