When my seven year old starts running around the house closing all the curtains, I know my boys are deep into imaginitive play! This always signals that it’s nightime for whatever game they are playing, usually house our hotel, and we need to make it dark. Next, every pillow and blanket is piled into the livingroom as they set up sleeping quarters and claim space around room. In all honesty, I usually let out a secret groan, I know this is going to lead to some serious tidy up time nagging at some point, but in my heart I love to watch the boys come together to create fun and exciting plots on their latest adventures!
Imagination can really take over with my boys, each of them will take on an imaginary house, usually from one of our travels and we have some pretty odd conversations sometimes.
“I have that toy at my house mom”
‘You do? which house is that?’
“it’s in Florida”
‘Oh, you have a house in Florida?’
“yeah the one with the pool in the backyard”
“There’s no daddy’s at my house”
‘Really? is there a mom?’
“Yeah, lots of them at my house in the forest”
‘oh, the forest house huh?’
“Yeah, really it’s a trailer”
I’m really hoping the boys don’t talk like this to their teachers! lol But how awesome is it to be able to lose yourself into a creative and exciting world you’ve created! oh to be a kid again!

I’d choose the pirate ship
I just love the Imaginext toys! They remind me so much of how my brother and I used play when we were little. They were called “Adventure People” I think … also by Fisher Price! 🙂
WOW. I LOVE IT. I have tobuy for my nephews this year. I think the 6 year old will LOVE this!
Kids can be so creative, eh? My boys have loved their Imaginext toys for years. We have the whole collection of Imaginext dinosaurs and they have lasted many years. This prize pack would be incredible to win!
I was just introduced to Imaginext toys a couple of weeks ago (thanks to another blogger). I would love to get a few for my boys.
Love the convo with your kiddo’s, oh to get in their heads sometimes huh!? Hope they enjoy their new toys!
