Duplo and Imagination

I love Duplo because they foster so much creativity and imagination. 

T made this adorable stage and a full blown story where the little figurines have a school program, complete with parents taking pictures. While not evident, some blocks are steps to the stage which is why there is no fourth pillar!

I also loved how she explained it in details to me. Not only is it sweet and a cherished moment, it also is a great chance to practice vocabulary and conversations. 

Pro tip from fellow mom: use these to guage what points interest your child. Use it for positive reinforcement and for storytelling. You’ll never run out of ideas!
