CREATIVITY AND PLAY

HOW TO FUEL YOUR MINI’S CREATIVITY

SET UP SHOP Turn your playhouse into a grocery store, bakery, ice cream shop, or brick and mortar of your Mini’s choice! Create signs, introduce pretend money, and watch their process putting items on display.

DON’T TOUCH THE FLOOR

We all played “The Floor is

Lava” at some point during childhood and the Balance

Beam from Cassarokids adds skill into the mix! Minis can pretend they’re walking a tight rope, teetering high above the ocean, or the old classic, tip-toeing across a volcanic explosion!

TRAVEL THE SEVEN SEAS

Mini imaginations can tire during the long winter months, but indoor play structures from Cassarokids along with these trusty tips can help light a spark.

It is no secret that winter calls for more time spent indoors and with holiday breaks just around the corner, we know how daunting it can be to brainstorm ways to entertain busy little ones. But shuffling around to playdates and seasonal activities no longer needs to be your only game plan— indoor play structures from Cassarokids, coupled with a handful of ideas for pint-sized playtime, can inspire Mini creativity for months to come.

5M I N I 2 w i n t e r ‘22 Turn your Cassarokids Rocker into an explorer’s boat! Make captain’s hats out of newspaper, put your paper towel rolls to use as telescopes, and steer clear of sea serpents! Before you set sail, take the time to draw a map with your destination, and maybe even an X that marks the spot for buried treasure!

GO MOUNTAIN CLIMBING Using your Climbing Triangle, hike to the top of a tall mountain! Acquaint your Minis with famous peaks like Everest and Kilimanjaro,

their heights, and sketch a backdrop on craft paper for their journey! Break out the stuffies and set them around your climber as animals you may encounter along the way.

JOIN THE FAIRYTALE If you have a Mini Rapunzel fan, the Cassarokids Play Tower is the perfect playtime tool to transport littles right into their favorite storybook! Dive into the dressup closet for a medieval gown, long-haired wig to toss over the edge, or suit up in the best armor if you have a Mini knight on your hands! They’ll be thrilled to stand atop the tower to let down their hair or look for flying dragons.

Cassarokids has everything you need to beat boredrom year-round with their wide range of sustainably-sourced play structures. Introduce them into your playroom and watch your Minis expand not only their creativity, but skill and confidence too. —cassarokids.com
