It’s nap time and your child is done sleeping but the Hatch light hasn’t yet turned from red to green. This is the perfect time for your child to read a book, play quietly with stuffed animals or partake in other kinds of unstructured play. Unstructured play is a great way for kids to learn how to entertain themselves without the help of mom or dad and it promotes creativity and independence. Great items to keep around for unstructured play include cardboard boxes, blocks, puzzles, tents, and even paper towel rolls. These simple items can help your child pass the time while waiting for quiet time to be over. Do you keep things around for your child’s unstructured play time? What’s their favorite thing to do during quiet time? 📷 joyfullygreen #parenting #parentingtips #unstructuredplay #creativeplay #timetorise #readytowake #childrensroom #quiettime
