Imagination? Preschoolers are filled with it! The same cups that the toddlers like to stack your preschooler can use to pretend to cook dinner. Even if you have a miniature kitchen with all the accessories..they will be delighted with you handing them REAL kitchen plastic bowls, spoons, spatulas, pots etc to pretend to cook dinner while you are. Tell them to add water when you do it, or stir the food, take it off the stove etc. They will get a kick out of playing along. Let's Get Messy?Ok, I read this one. I haven't done it yet...Do you ever throw out leftovers? Try giving your preschooler all the leftovers to "cook" in your sink. They can mix them, stir them, smash them, and do all sorts of lovely creations! (Let me know how it goes for you!!)
