Use Pillows and Cushions For Imaginative Play

Offer your child pillow, cushion, and blanket options to explore. They may come up with their own game right away, or take some time to figure out what they want to do, and that's OK — just go with it! My little one loves to throw large pillows off of the couch and retrieve them — sometimes we use them to create an obstacle course, and we also hide toys in and around the cushions to search for. These are all great activities for fostering fine and gross motor skill development, problem-solving, creativity, and communication skills.
