The Disappearance of Imaginative Play

The average 3-year-old can pick up an iPhone and expertly scroll through the menu of apps, but how many 7-year-olds can organize a kickball game with the neighborhood kids?

Do you remember hanging out with the neighborhood kids and playing kick the can or capture the flag?  With kids spending  7 hours and 38 minutes a day on average in front of a screen, you may want to read this great article at Omaha.com on getting kids away from electronics and get them involved in imaginative play.

I am a Mom of 3 children who is a kids playhouse enthusiast.  If you love kids playhouses too, then please check out Kids Playhouse Blog for the latest playhouse trends and fun activities!
