Hello again!! This week I will be discussing the importance of IMAGINATION!!

Now, we all know that kids have a lot of imagination. Whether its inventing games or playing with toys, kids have loads of imagination. But once they get to the age of thirteen or fourteen, the imagination level drops. A lot of the time imagination is seen as babyish! Some people call this ‘growing up’ but I don’t think you have to lose imagination to be grown up. Here are my top favourite crafty imaginative ideas to try!

  1. Making doll’s/teddy clothes
  2. Making mini furniture
  3. Operating on fruit
  4. Pretend to be in a jungle
  5. Design a new world
  6. Make up and draw some characters
  7. Write a character profile for your character
  8. Make and interactive picture
  9. Play camping all day in your garden or indoors
  10. Pretend to be in an earthquake underneath your duvet or blanket
  11. Scavenger Hunt

Those are some of my favourite ideas, but there’s a lot more online!! Now here is My Chill-out song of the Week!
