The things we desire the most as a child, Turn out to be talent. I love dolls as a child and my parents always gift me during Christmas, birthdays or any time they see a lovely one in the store.
I enjoy playing with dolls and I learnt how to style their hair! Dolls can provide endless opportunities when playing. I would always style their hair and in doing that, I learnt how to make Hair for families and friends. The main origin of my Hair making today started from playing with and styling my doll's hair.
Playing with my Doll made me always have a story and imaginative play.
The Dolls my student and I the teacher: Imagine Speaking to my dolls, Like they can hear me and I teach them like my teacher does in school. As the learning unfolds, the dolls come to life, and together we embark on exciting learning adventures.
Dress-Up and Fashion Shows: I Dress them up in different attires cultural and English wears. My elder brothers help me to make their cloth and style the dolls. They tell me how to organize a fashion show and it was fun all the way. I didn't have a camera or smartphone to take a picture just for memories.
Doctor or Nurse Play: The dolls play the role of a doctor or nurse. Who takes care of her "patients," using her imagination to diagnose ailments and provide treatment. That way I show love and care when I imagine the dolls are sick and need care.
Dolls as Best Friends: The doll becomes my constant companion, accompanying me on adventures and sharing secrets. I and my doll share the importance of friendship and the power of imagination. My mother did not like that part of having only dolls as my friends, she would encourage me to make their hair and make more cloth for them. then I can make friends at school not my Dolls alone "Mothers and their good ways"
Am a mother now and my daughter prefers teddy bears, cats and Dogs. But am going to make a Barbie cake for her, so after she finishes the cake she can take the Doll inside.
Playing with dolls not only provides entertainment but also encourages emotional development, storytelling skills, and caring qualities.
What do you think? Do you love playing with Dolls as a little girl?
