Make believe play is one activity that they are both drawn to at this time at ages 8 and 4. It\u2019s such a fun age to observe as their creative thoughts are played out right in front of you.\u00a0This afternoon was no different. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">We try to change things up sometimes with our kid\u2019s snacks in the afternoon and where we have them.\u00a0 It helps break up our long afternoon routine.\u00a0I gave my girls Honey Goldfish Grahams\u00a0 to try for snack time and encouraged them to head out outdoors to enjoy.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">The next thing that happened was that I see the girls head back indoors and grab a few of their teddy bears, a few tea cups.\u00a0They both carried them up the back ladder, I must admit it was so cute.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Teddy2BBear2BTea2BParty2Bby2BKim2BVij2B-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Teddy2BBear2BTea2BParty2Bby2BKim2BVij2B-1.png 650w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Teddy2BBear2BTea2BParty2Bby2BKim2BVij2B-1-600x415.png 600w, https:\/\/theeducatorsspinonit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Teddy2BBear2BTea2BParty2Bby2BKim2BVij2B-1-300x208.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Then my oldest came in and cut out some triangles from some scrap paper I keep on hand for them to create with. She carried her triangles and tape outdoors to join her little sister. I had to ask what they were up to and they both proceeded to inform me of their teddy bear picnic with the Goldfish Grahams.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">I asked them both why teddy bears and they explained that bears like to eat honey. Then they explained that they wanted to decorate for the tea party as they started to create a banner for the playground.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">They created such a fun moment for snack time with their teddy bear tea party and Goldfish Grahams. I imagine next we\u2019ll be seeing a camping experience with chocolate and marshmallows added to the mix for s&#8217;mores together with them which sounds delicious.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">I watched as the two pretended to host a party with their bears and snack together.\u00a0My hope is one day they\u2019ll look back and remember these special times together imagining about the world or a tiny tea party they hosted for their teddy bears at snack time. Goldfish Grahams are a great snack that kids love to eat and play with. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Reminds me how important it is to have these types of opportunities and materials readily available to imagine with.&nbsp; <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Next time we are sitting down to do some creative writing together I hope that they will take some time to write a story about their Teddy Bear Tea Party and Goldfish Grahams <b>&#8211;
