Family Connections- This Week in VPK
Season 1
by Kyle Smith
In this episode, Fanny the Frog shares how children are using their imagination to create stories, pretend, and express creative ideas with others. This week, children are learning that imagination means forming pictures and ideas in their minds—sometimes about things that aren’t real yet. Through storytelling, dramatic play, and make-believe, children are strengthening language skills, confidence, and creative thinking. You may notice your child: Pretending everyday objects are something new Making up stories or characters Asking “what if” questions or sharing big ideas You can support this learning at home by: Asking open-ended questions like “What will happen next?” or “How could the story end?” Playing dress-up or pretend games together Talking about ideas, dreams, and creative thinking
This week on our Pre-K Classroom Podcast, Fanny the Frog and Bob the Builder help children explore tools and how people use them to build, create, and play. Our young learners discover that tools help make work easier and save time.
