Shoes? Made of What?

So, my girl is very creative, and uses all kinds of things in her pretend play time. Her favorite things are those which can be used to represent LOTS of different items, including scarves, rocks, shoe laces, and of course, stickers. One example comes from a few weeks ago when she was doing an art activity with stickers. She had a page and a sheet of stickers and was coloring and putting stickers and having fun. Then she finished with her page, and took her stickers over to find her box of dinosaur friends. She started asking them what activity each wanted to do for sports day, had them do the activity, and then put a sticker on their chest for a medal. They each won one, since we are ALL winners. She has done this many times, and it is always interesting to see the sports they are involved in (many ideas come from the Clifford episode where they do sports day activities, or from the Dinosaur Train block party episode where they do some fun games). She really enjoys acting out things she has seen in a show or read about in a book. And then she gets creative and does things a bit differently. This particular day, she started putting stickers on the dinosaurs tails (for those that had them), and then put stickers on their feet. When asked about it, she explained that the dinosaurs had gone to the shoe store, and had gotten shoes. She was very generous and gave them all sticker shoes, and then found ways to give them more than one shoe on each foot, so she could use all her stickers up. It was very fun!

Of course, the stickers didn't all stick, and we've been finding them all over the place as she's played with the dinosaurs who keep losing their shoes. But it was fun while it lasted! And very creative too, I thought!
