Dramatic play is so much fun! The only limit is your imagination. It would help if you kept old clothes and costumes for dramatic play. You can even make the costume if you don’t have what they need. It’s an opportunity to use their imagination in a way they may not do with paper and pen. It can help them play out scary situations too like a dentist or doctor’s visit. They might even start their career on Broadway one day.

Letter D
There’s so much you can do with a cape or a Big floppy hat. Use your imagination. Aiden loves the sword as a starting point. Sometimes it starts a Minecraft world and slays the ender dragon and all the hostile mobs. Or it might start war at co-op with all the kids playing with mayla weapons. Or it might turn him into a knight.
It doesn’t really matter what it is or how they play. It does matter if it activates the imagination. Heck, a stick will do.
The letter D is the fourth letter of the alphabet. Aiden picks dog, dirt, and duck when he’s asked for a D words
Short D sounds like duh
Activities and ideas:
- Dig in the dirt
- Dramatic play in the park

As a homeschooling mom, I know one of the homeschool essentials is a good-quality printer with cheap ink. Make sure you look at the cost of the ink before you buy. The printer price isn’t the price to worry about. We have an old one we bought about 10 years ago. Totally worth it. It doesn’t even have to have both print cartilages to print.
