Cha-Ching! Playing and Learning Together

April 20, 2012 by OneMommy

Well, I found one –

 

The catamarangermy daughter wanted.

toy cash register
No, not the toy saw... Look past that - there! It's a catamaranger! (a.k.a. cash register)

They had tons of fun playing store, with a little guidance from Mommy.

I suggested they shop for food from the play kitchen, but little man opted for tools.  (Just goes to show you, that the love of hardware stores runs in little boys’ blood.)

He had a fun time selecting which tools to put in the shopping cart. playing pretendAnd big sister liked ringing them all up with the little scanner that actually beeps.

And of course, taking her little brother’s money…pretend play

After a few runs they switched roles.

It was fun  listening to them as they played in their pretend world.  That’s the magic of childhood – hopefully something they hold on to for a long time.

      Sometimes just watching and listening to them turns the day around –

    children have always loved this game. It’s good they took turns. You do find creative ways for them, and in this game, they can learn so much.
