When those interests arose, I gently accommodated them with a healthy collection of books and occasionally some themed toys, but I wanted to take it to the next level and really allow him the opportunity to explore his interests in a more hands-on way. And Playful Learning Invitations were born!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>They began with just a couple themed activities here and there whenever a new interest arose, and naturally evolved into what I am honored to share with you today. Each Playful Learning Invitation includes: a sensory setup, interest poster(s), SIX invitations per theme, and often a BONUS play dough invitation (or more)!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>I create each of these invitations to not only <strong>support <\/strong>your little one\u2019s interests, but also as a catalyst for introducing and fueling <strong>new <\/strong>potential interests! Best of all, they don\u2019t require an unmanageable amount of work for <strong>you <\/strong>to prepare. <em>Simple, engaging, and developmentally supportive of limitless little minds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Allow your child\u2019s interest to be the guiding force in learning; as they continually fine-tune their likes and dislikes, you may find that their interest in this theme has naturally \u201cburnt out\u201d by the end of the invitations.
