My sis Renee posted this idea that she got from a friend. She provided this list of things that are real or pretend and the idea is to ask your children if the items are REAL or PRETEND. I was very curious how Eli would do, because I didn’t even know if he knew what “Real” and “Pretend” were!
So Here are Eli’s ideas of REAL or PRETEND!
Eli: Age 4
Item
Real or Pretend?
Princesses Pretend Hippopotamus’ Real Robots Pretend Fireflies Real Dinosaurs Real Dragons Real Dragonflies Pretend Magic Pretend God Real Hearts Real Unicorns Pretend Presidents Real Monsters Real Police Men Real Alligators Real Kings and Queens Real Castles Real China Not China, Just Country. ?? Rapunzel Real George Washington Real Moses Real Goldilocks and the Three Bears Real Buffaloes Pretend California Real Ghosts Pretend I added that last one (Ghosts) because I asked Eli if he knew what REAL and PRETEND meant and he said, “Pretend like Ghosts?” :) And for China I said, “Is the country of China real? And he said, “It’s not China, just country!” Whatever that means! ;)
I’m pretty happy with how he did because at 4 he still hasn’t lost the BELIEVING spirit, but he does understand that there are some pretend things.. :)
So, who is willing to try it?!
Ha ha! He did good! And you are fast! Wow! It's funny how most kids are getting robots wrong. I guess they only see them on cartoons or movies where everything else is pretend so it seems logical... :)
