Pretend Elevator Adventure

Parent and child create a pretend elevator panel together, then use it for imaginative play that incorporates counting and multi-step directions. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child blends reality and fantasy, follows sequential instructions, and engages with numbers through pretend play — building cognitive flexibility and early math skills.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Parent and child at a table or floor workspace with crafting materials: two colored papers, glue stick, scissors, marker, tape. Space should allow for collaborative crafting and later pretend play.
