The Power of Play – Top 5 Tips for Parents to Maximize Playtime
Parenting expert, Alyson Schafer, teamed up with MEGA BLOKS to create these helpful hints and tips for parents to keep playtime fun and engaging for their toddlers.
1. Children Thrive On Routine And Predictability: Practice patience with your child by creating a set playtime and sticking with it.
2. Create Independent Playtime Too: Help them come up with a few ideas of what they’d like to play with, and help get them set up, in order to balance “parental playtime” and “independent playtime.”
3. Round Out Your Activities: Come up with fun ideas for activities, in a range of developmental areas!
4. Make Good Organized Play Space: Kids need a place to play and it should be equipped with basic items, and without parental worry of noise, spills and property damage.
· Bonus Tip: If you have more toys out and active than your child can clean up in five minutes, you have too much going on in your playroom.
5. Let the Child Lead: When you join your child in play, let them lead the play – this is their time to explore and learn through mistakes.
MEGA BLOKS are sold at all major Canadian retailers including: Toys R Us, Walmart, Sears, Real Canadian Super Stores and Amazon.ca.
