In my home there is a constant struggle between my need to keep order in my household vs. "valuing the inquisitive nature of kids"... This really opened my eyes, though, that a shift in our perspective could make all the difference. Let kids be kids! https://t.co/0cm7XFgTTH
Summer is coming! We're looking forward to some fun days at the pool, and in the meantime we're happy to hang out by this one in our Grand Hotel set! Endless possibilities to design, build, and imagine adventures in Wonderhood ☀️🏊♀️🤩
Cool Kickstarter alert! We just backed RaceYa - an awesome new concept in radio-controlled cars for fun & fast learning through play. We love this! Check it out on @Kickstarter https://t.co/kjGhx8jvge
Reading and Play have benefits for behavior & attention in children. “Children have an opportunity to think about characters, to think about the feelings of those characters... They learn to use words to describe feelings that are otherwise difficult.” https://t.co/NSnGUxGgJQ
It’s through play that children begin to "flex" their creative muscles and learn to problem-solve; whether with building, dolls, or just playing outside... Don't forget to make time for play! #geniusofplay
Read how this busy mama/writer/entrepreneur encourages her two daughters with positive messages at playtime and STEM-based toys like @WonderhoodToy that inspire problem-solving, collaboration and creativity! Thank you @Strollerinthecity! https://t.co/ATnd8AnkYr
IMAGINATION. One of the best things we hear about Wonderhood is that it is so much more than a building set. The detailed illustrations and figurines inspire kids to dream up and play out all kinds of adventures. Problem-solving + creativity = kids can do and be anything!
"If I quit, nobody would ever believe that women had the capability to run 26-plus miles... it would set women’s sports back." In 1967, Kathrine Switzer was attacked during the Boston Marathon for entering a “man’s race”- but her persistence paved the way for women in the sport.
"I never, ever review stuff, but I had to speak up on this one. This is a spectacular toy... I especially appreciate that they're not particularly gendered -- not too much pink! Really well designed overall. Wonderhood, please make more sets, I'll buy them all!" ~Amazon parent
Parenting is hard. This recent NYTimes article talks about taking a hard look at our own emotional responses and resilience to help our kids learn to improve theirs. Definitely worth a read. https://t.co/0zpxyFb96Q
Remember the X-Files? Did you know that 63% of women who work in STEM say that the character, Dana Scully, served as a role model? Young women & girls need positive role models in every aspect of their world, including in play.
