Anything material goes

A little nonsense now and then, is relished by the wisest men.
Willy Wonka. From Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, by Roald Dahl

Every child is different - some are naturally very adept at creating their own imaginary worlds - others might need a little more encouragement.

This game is really good to get the creative ideas flowing - why not have a go at home?

You'll need a piece of material - ideally quite large - a bed sheet or blanket is ideal. Ask your child what the material could be used for. Play along too - the possibilities are endless - a magic carpet, a picnic blanket, a toga, a cape, a tent, etc.

Encourage your child to take this a step further and play a game using the material - e.g. a magic carpet could take them to an imaginary land for an amazing adventure!
