There are opportunities all over Pretend City to learn about the body and how it works! During our “Good To Go” activities, you and your child will be guided through an activity from our Way to Play Adventure Guide to learn how pretend is so much more than play. Play is the most fun way to ensure your child is on the right track to be Good To Go From Head To Toe! You can look forward to activities like:
- Pretend your child is the doctor and you are the patient. Pretend to be sick, nervous or afraid. Let the “doctor” reassure you and explain everything they are doing during the examination. Be sure to encourage naming body parts through the examination!
Grown-up Tip: So many milestones, so little time! During the first 5 years, your child is continuously reaching new developmental milestones through exploration and play. Ensure that your little one is developing on track by completing an Ages & Stages Questionnaire!* They’re FREE, fast and easy!
*Valid for Orange County residents only.

I am green and I can leap, what am I? A frog? Nope, the earth! Did you know that 2012 is a leap year? Celebrate this leap year by making recyclable leaping frogs. This interactive art and activity time will have your child leaping from lily pad to lily pad to build their calendar skills. As they leap they will need to jump onto the correct month while identifying each one.
Play Partner: Pretendgineers and BrainBuilders; our experienced stage staff of trained early childhood and development educators.
Grown-up Tip: All this hopping, jumping and leaping like a frog is perfect for strengthening gross motor skills, coordination and balance. While building strong muscles with these exercises, your child is also learning about spatial relationships and sequences. Hop, hop and away!
