What is imagination? It is the quality for a child to transform a lonely room into a faraway place with wild animals. It is the quality to find something playful in the simple things in life. Children with good imaginations can find fun in the most basic of situations. They are able to entertain themselves for hours at a time. How can parents stimulate their baby's imagination? A few simple steps will help get your baby's imagination spinning.
The first and most prominent step in helping your child use their imagination is to read to them often. Books are a great way to bring up a child's imagination. Books take children on adventures they would otherwise never experience. The inflection of your voice as you read can originate dramatic effects on the story. It can bring excitement, fear, and surprise. When you read like this, your child will be begging for more.
Book
During the time when you are not reading, use ideas from the stories you have read to encourage your child's own imagination. Make up games before bed with your baby's stuffed animals. Go on a safari in your living room.
When you actively pretend with babies, they will come up with ideas of their own. You can pretend that your fingers are creatures that can speak to your baby. If you need to get your own creative juices flowing, read to your baby a lot. This will help you to come up with your own ideas.
When babies are born, they are like blank slates. What we fill them up with will work on them in every way. If we want our children to be imaginative and creative, we need to fill them up with these things straight through books and play.
Imagination is at the heart of all creativity. It is very difficult to be creative with slight or no imagination. Imagination is what allows a child to turn a stick into a horse, a staff or a wand. There is no place your child can't go with a slight imagination.
