We all know that children love stuffed animals and usually have a collection of them.

How about having a stuff animal circus? Make a tent (drap a sheet over a table) where the animals can perform circus acts.  You can even use a pillowcase at the doorway to create a “curtain”.

Use the stuffed animals for story telling.  Have them help act out a story that you read together.

Create a puppet show.  You can either make up a story or act out a book!

Make a train ride.  Use boxes for the cars and tie string to connect each box.  Have your toddler pull the train.

Host a tea party.  Gather all the stuffed animals and dress them up to serve them “tea”.

What other ways does your toddler play with stuffed animals?
