This is my lo for the Imagination sketch challenge. The journalling (on the olive semi circle pullout tab) reads "“Mr. I. Magination”, a children’s television program in the early 1950s, had a magical train engineer that could make children’s dreams come true. He made imaginative use of simple props. With your creativity and love of using any box as a “beetle box”, you could have been the star of the show.
One of your favourite imaginary activities is to play with your “beetle”, also known as a laundry basket. Before you could even walk, you loved to pull yourself up while holding on to it. You soon discovered that when the laundry basket was tipped on its side you could crawl in and out of it. Many of your first words and phrases - “beetle”, “door”, “mom sit” and “close door” - came in handy when playing with your “beetle”. Now at 22 months, you want to sit inside it and have Mum close the doors so you can open them, smile your infectious smile, and say “hi”. Or you want to “drive” the beetle as Mum pushes you around the house.
We love to watch you come up with new ways to play with your “beetle” and hope that you will continue to be so creative and imaginative as you grow older."
And just to add some context, on of our vehicles is a New Beetle so DS called all vehicles either beetles or trucks and then later on introduced vans into his vocabulary. I might add that to the journaling somehow! Hmmmm ...?
