Pretend Play- Food

There is something about the real stuff that makes it always so much more fun to play with. From playing home to market; play food gets much use in our house.

 Here are some ways to make your own play food:

1. Cover your empty food boxes completely with strong clear packing tape. This makes them durable and able to survive a one year old.
2. Fill empty spray bottles with water for some fun pretend cleaning fun.
3. Baskets left over from Easter make the perfect shopping basket.
4. Fill berry containers with pom poms and egg cartons with paper mache or wooden eggs from the craft store.

It doesn't take much to inspire a child's imagination. Oh the fun they will create....
