Having good imagination skills can make all the difference to life, whatever your age. For children, it can help them with various areas of learning, such as imagining characters when they’re reading or creating stories, to livening up their experience of play. For adults too, having a good imagination is beneficial and can help relieve boredom and enhance enjoyment of fiction, plays and films. In fact, research has shown that children who have an active imagination and use it well tend to: play better with other children do well in school be able to handle anger and other emotions better be happier better able to amuse themselves and play on their own. All these are great reasons why it’s a good idea to help develop your child’s imagination skills. Although toddler’s are naturally inquisitive and have basic imagination skills, the more you can do to hone these skills, the better. Here’s how. Reading And Enjoying Books Reading and developing a long-term appetite for books is one of the best ways of generating a child’s imagination skills. Picture books are great for early learners, helping both language, vocabulary and reading skills, as well as fuelling their imagination. When you’re first developing an interest in books, choose picture books that are colourful, fun and interactive. |
