Has your child ever pretended to be an astronaut? What about had a play date with their favorite stuffed animal? When kids use their imaginations, not only do they have a ton of fun, but they develop the abstract thinking skills that are so important for academic learning later on.
Engaging in pretend play also helps kids learn impulse control - which turns out to be even more important for school success than IQ! So by encouraging your kids to exercise their imaginations, you’re helping lay the foundation for future success. Who knew learning could be such an Amazing Adventure?
This month the BabbaBox has partnered with Shutterfly so that you can bring your child’s Amazing Adventures to life. There is no better cure for the short winter days than unlocking the imaginations of your little ones. Here are the details on what you’ll find inside your “My Amazing Adventures” BabbaBox…
Make an adorable photo magnet of your kids and have it sent to your home – absolutely free – thanks to this special partnership with Shutterfly! Star in adventures to outer space, the jungle - anywhere your imagination takes you - in a storybook you create and get to keep. Using your personalized magnet from Shutterfly, cut out adventure costumes you get to color, make puppets that can play out your stories.
Read “Henry's Amazing Imagination” - a sweet story about a mouse whose imagination is so great that his friends begin to wonder if he's fibbing! See how his teacher helps him harness his ideas into stories to share. Download a free copy of DinoBoy Adventures App - It's a "choose your own" adventure story for the preschool set!
And as a special “thank you” to parents, this month BabbaCo has an exclusive Shutterfly coupon for its customers – so you can transform your favorite moments from 2012 into lasting memories!
Each month, the BabbaBox is delivered right to your door and features a wealth of activities all organized around a theme that kids 3-7 totally love.
