Small world play is a great opportunity for children to expand their vocabulary, organize ideas, develop sequencing skills and foster creativity and imagination.
My daughter loves animal figurines so this activity was a huge hit with her. It stayed on her table for a few days before she was ok with cleaning it up. This setup was complete with a feeding and water station because feeding the animals is the beeeest part, am I right?
She got so excited when she saw it! Seriously, I live for those moments!
She’s super into pretend play at the moment. We try to do it based on reality and that’s why I love animal figurines that are good quality and realistic. The ones used in this activity are by Terra by Battat. You can find the set with the donkey, cow and pig here, and the set with the sheep, bull and horse here.
Cleaning up is part of the learning process, so make sure to encourage your child to tidy up after they finish playing. Model how to do it until your child feels confident enough to initiate the tidying up process independently.
