Why your child will enjoy this toy now?
With more life experiences to draw on, and a wealth of verbal and motor skills, your child will enjoy communicating and expressing himself through art, performance and photography.
What you can do to help your child learn more?
Try to make time to show a real interest in your child's creations. If you can, stop what you're doing and check it out when he says, "Hey, Mom! Look what I made!" or "Watch this dance I made up!" Set aside special time when you can focus on just him. Ask him to demonstrate his work, and praise him for his abilities.
Can he express to you why he's created a certain drawing or snapped a particular picture? Or why he thinks his music sounds a certain way? Encourage him to talk about his ideas and feelings.
If your child owns or has access to a camera, encourage her to take photos while on an outing to document the experience. If her favorite photo is digital, help her enhance it by adding special effects or a fun digital border.
Make sure your child is exposed to music and art in other parts of his life. Take a trip to a gallery or sculpture park, attend a play or symphony performance just for kids. Whatever field trip you decide on, do a little research up front to see if it's a child-friendly environment; it can help ensure the experience is a positive one for both of you
