Daily Idea #10: Story Time

Ever wonder what your kids are thinking about? Or maybe what happens in their imaginations? Have them tell you a story!

Start by gathering 5 objects from around the house (ones that don’t relate to each other— a hairbrush, a napkin, a stuffed animal, a pair of socks, and a spoon for example).

First, each child gets to pick an item and use it in a non traditional manner. Take turns seeing how many ways you can “use” your object.

Next, work together and create a story connecting those items in their unique way.

Have fun, enjoy hearing what your kids have to say, and if you are really into the story, try acting it out!
