Sometimes, it's one of "those" days. Sometimes it's time for a "new" game.

Marlene Lindner, creator of Simply Play Activity Cards, has the solution you need. Each activity card in this deck contains an inspiring quote and an inventive, imaginative activity  to do with your toddler.

How did this idea come about?
I love tarot decks. I use them for daily meditations or during challenging times. The idea was to have a deck of cards that have an inspirational quote for parents to read if they are having a challenging time with their kids. And, if you have a couple minutes to sit and focus on your child in that moment, you can dive into an activity. Just shift the mood to play and seek joy in the moment.  One card focuses on taking deep breaths together. And, others include making a baby burrito and marching in a parade.
Who can use these cards?
The cards are for any parent or caregiver who is looking for some imaginative play with their child, 2-6 years old. Each card has an inspirational quote followed by an activity. Most activities require no props and explore imagination. They can be done indoors or outside.

Do you have any tips for moms that would like their kids to tap into their creative side?
Let them claim to be bored, very bored. Then, let them find their own way out of the boredom. That's how they often get to the good stuff!
​
Where can a parent get a deck of cards?
They are available in some boutique shops and on my website. They make great gifts!
