MAKE SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING

Open a winter café with your child

Let your child be the host of a tiny pretend café with menus, table service and a very important stuffed-animal guest.

Make the moment happen.

  1. Choose two drinks and two snacks you already have. Draw picture menus together and let your child name the café.

  2. Arrange one small table with a clear walking route. Use empty cups for pretend play or cool drinks for real service.

  3. Take turns as guest, server and chef. Ask a stuffed animal to order something delightfully silly from the menu.

  4. Pay with drawn paper coins, say thank you and clean up together before the café closes.

A little help: Grown-ups handle hot drinks and food preparation. Keep small pretend coins away from toddlers.
