Re: Re: TOYS/ encourage play

[Guest guest]

I like this thread. There's a thread on here somewhere for video

recommendations if anyone needs to look that up.

I'd like to develop this one. How would you encourage your child to

play?one thing I do is buy characters from programmes he watches

and encourage playfulness in general with tickles, and fun together with

adults, etc. but would like to hear other people's ideas
