My three year old son Kyle is a very high-energy kid who is always on the move.\u00a0 As a stay at home mom it\u2019s important for me to keep him stimulated and occupied for long periods of time.\u00a0 Our basement is a miniature replica of Toys R Us.\u00a0 Good or bad, it is overflowing with varying toys to help me out. \u00a0\u00a0I have to say that his favourite toys are the ones where he gets to play pretend.\u00a0 Some of these toys we\u2019ve had since he was one and he still plays with them.\"Fisher<\/a><\/p>\n

Playing Pretend<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Specifically, we have a workstation where he can pretend to build or fix things.\u00a0 Similarly, we also have a kitchen station where my son pretends to cook us meals.\u00a0 Sometimes the stove is used as the fridge and the fridge is used as the microwave, but the food always tastes delicious!\u00a0 Another one of his favourite make-belief games is shopping!\u00a0 This is a big win for me as I love to shop.\u00a0 He walks his shopping cart around the basement, filling it up with various toys and pretend items.\"Fisher<\/a><\/p>\n

Imaginative Play with Fisher Price Little People<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When\u00a0Kyle is\u00a0playing independently, he likes playing with his Fisher Price sets.\u00a0 At home, we have the Little People Animal Sounds Farm<\/span>.\u00a0 After\u00a0Kyle sets up the animals inside the barn, they all “slide” down the barn roof.\u00a0 He loves using the Little People in the barn too.\u00a0 Each one is someone in our family. There’s a mom, dad, Kyle and Ryan (even though most often red haired Sofie is Ryan).\u00a0 We all take turns taking care of the animals, going for rides, walks and sleeping.<\/p>\n

While we’re at the cottage, Kyle plays with the\u00a0Little People Zoo Talkers Animal Sounds Zoo<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0 He likes to “re-create” our hometown zoo.\u00a0 He pretends that the Little People are visiting the zoo and going from area to area, making the animal sounds as they visit them.\u00a0 There’s really nothing sweeter than watching my boy play pretend.\"Fisher<\/a><\/p>\n

Personally, I love Fisher Price’s new Little People.\u00a0 They’re\u00a0all unique in their looks and personality.\u00a0 I think children will find them very relatable and it will make their playtime that much more enjoyable.\u00a0\u00a0Eddie, the blond hair, high-energy, go-go-go kind of boy who always has a ball pretty much sums up my son Kyle.\u00a0 It’s great to have a little doll that’s exactly like him and it greatly assists with self-directed play.\u00a0 Meet the five\u00a0<\/span>new characters,\u00a0<\/span>Eddie, Mia, Sofie, Tessa and Koby\u00a0here: <\/span>www.fisherprice.ca\/littlepeople<\/a>\"Fisher<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Contest<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In October and November, Treehouse will hold the Little People, Big Discoveries contest<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0Contestants will be able to play a hide and seek game, watch the videos and be entered to win 1 of 5 $265 Little People Prize packs.<\/span><\/p>\n
