Role-Play Day

Today Shasmida, Constantia and the children engaged in an epic imaginative game of bed-time routine with the baby dolls! They fist chatted about the seasons and about it being cold at the moment, hence us dressing warmly. We then bathed the dolls in warm, soapy water, toweled them
dry, brushed their teeth and dressed them warmly before reading them a story and tucking them into bed. Role-playing like this is an excellent way for children to relate to events and rhythms in their day and to have control over them in a playful and fun way. Christian was so immersed in the scenario, he even asked for the baby’s vaseline before dressing her! What a great big brother he must be! Constantia responded by giving all the kids some cream to put on their babies ;)
