When children pretend

Today's quote comes from well-loved, American children’s TV host, Fred Rogers (1928-2003) who said:
"When children pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero."
And a grown-up can go to 'Santa School' to become... Father Christmas as we learn from today's BBC News!


These children in last year's Eureka! Grotto seem to definitely be using their imaginations as the museum becomes a magical, Arctic hideaway. Fortunately the staff at Eureka! have no need for 'Santa School' and are already fully trained in the art of play!

I love this photo, the children look so excited! Really looking forward to seeing the grotto this year!
