Bringing Your Toys To Life With Webkinz Jr.

Bringing Your Toys To Life With Webkinz Jr.

Right after we adopted our Boxer puppy last Spring, my then 3 year-old daughter decided she needed to have her own puppy, too. Actually, two puppies. Imaginary puppies — Holly and Polly! I have no idea what kind of dog they are but they have been with us this entire last year. She loves to talk about Holly and Polly, how well they behave, what they like to eat, how big they are getting. Don’t get me wrong, she loves our Boxer to pieces…she just likes to have her own puppies that she’s in charge of, too!

The wonderful thing about encouraging preschoolers to participate in pretend play is that it can become whatever they want it to be.
