Imaginative Fabric Play Sets and Pretend Play Soft Toys are Wonderful Alternatives to Simple Storytelling


Growing up, we were told stories all the time. At school, at home, and all other places for that matter, grownups all tried to tell these stories because most of them would share a hidden message and try to promote good values. The problem with some of the kids, like in my case, is that I found it very hard to stay focused on what the story teller was saying. Eventually I would wonder off inside my head, or start following the butterfly flying right outside the window; whatever I did, it sure did not involve paying attention to what the person in front of the class or right next to me were saying. It’s not that what they were saying was unimportant or not interesting, it’s just that nothing else about the person was keeping my attention; in my case, I would just prefer and respond to more visually stimulating activities.

With the innovative and imaginative fabric play sets found at 1888Toys.com, telling these stories has gotten so much easier. The Goldilocks and Three Bears Read and Play Fabric Set is a great example of what I am talking about. An all-time favorite story brought to life! The playset includes Goldilocks, papa bear, mama bear, and baby bear, a storybook and a charming fabric house with furniture. This toy is a wonderful way for your children to expand their imagination. The pretend play fabric set is a great option for parent looking for new creative ideas in getting their kids interested in reading. Goldilocks and 3 Bear Play Set won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award in 1999. The true craftsmanship, time and dedication given to the toy, is truly remarkable.

Pretend play and imaginative play is an important part of the child development process, so this fabric toy is a wonderful option to traditional board games and storytelling. Check out the rest of the imaginative play sets collection at 1888Toys.com.
