[quote=Anonymous]Not yet! When people say their 7 year olds aren’t playing as much anymore, I wonder vow much free play time they have. Too much screens? Over scheduled? Not being judgy, just something to think about. Depending how nice the kitchen is, you could consider putting it outside. An outside kitchen for mud pies and flower “cakes” can be an amazing option for pretend play that is totally different than inside play. You could have them pick out their favorite pieces from the 3 doctors kits and get rid of the rest. Who cares if it doesn’t match? Declare one rainy Saturday morning a “vet clinic” and drag out the stuffies and doctors kits and let them go through a box of real bandaids. Sometimes kids need “invitations to play” where you set out some ideas and see what happens. I used to teach preschool and some of the most amazing creativity came about when we set out a scenario for the kids. And I don’t think 7 is too old for this at all.! [/quote]
