Pretend play, also known as imaginative or symbolic play, is a type of play where children use their imaginations to create and act out scenarios or stories. It is a common and important type of play for children, and has numerous benefits for their development. Some of the benefits of pretend play include:

  1. Language development: Pretend play helps children learn and practice new words and concepts, as well as develop their language skills.
  2. Social and emotional development: Pretend play allows children to express their emotions and practice social interactions, such as sharing and taking turns.
  3. Cognitive development: Pretend play helps children think creatively and solve problems, as they have to come up with solutions and ideas on the spot.
  4. Physical development: Pretend play helps children improve their fine and gross motor skills, as they use their bodies to act out different scenarios.
  5. Sense of accomplishment: Pretend play allows children to experience a sense of accomplishment and mastery as they create and act out their own stories and ideas.

Overall, pretend play is a valuable and important part of children’s development, and should be encouraged and supported in early childhood.

Crochet Tips And Tricks – E-book by Nicki’s Homemade Crafts

If you’ve been crocheting for a while, you probably think you’ve picked up most of the tricks already. That’s what I thought too—until I dove into Nicki’s Homemade Crafts Crochet Tips & Tricks E-book. Let me tell you, I was pleasantly surprised.

This isn’t your average “how to hold a hook” beginner guide. It’s packed with actually useful, hands-on advice that even seasoned crocheters will appreciate. I found myself nodding along with so many of the pages, thinking, “Why didn’t I know this sooner?”

One thing I really liked? It’s written in a super down-to-earth tone, like a fellow crocheter just sharing what works. No fluff, no overly technical jargon. Just smart, practical solutions to common crochet problems. From fixing tension issues to dealing with split yarn, the tips are straightforward and easy to apply.

Another standout? The layout is clean, with step-by-step instructions and lots of visual cues that make it easy to follow. You can flip to a section you need or read it front to back—it works either way. And it’s digital, so it lives on my tablet now for quick reference whenever I need a refresher.

But what really makes this e-book feel like a gem is the “aha” moments scattered throughout. Things like invisible joins that actually look invisible, tips to stop your yarn from tangling (IYKYK), and clever ways to weave in ends without the bulky bump. Even after years of crocheting, I walked away with new techniques that made my projects look cleaner and more polished.

I’d definitely recommend this for anyone who crochets regularly—especially if you’re tired of wasting time Googling scattered tutorials and just want everything in one place.

You can check it out here.
