When I think back to my childhood, I remember playing teacher, post office, kitchen, etc. with my brothers. Mostly because I liked being the bossy big sister, but also because pretend play makes childhood fun. By pretending to be something you’re not, you get a chance to come out of your comfort zone and you end up learning a lot about yourself, no matter what age you are.

I spend my evenings scouring Pinterest for creative activity ideas for my daughters. What I’ve learned about myself from doing this, though, is that I can pin projects all day long but actually purchasing the supplies and following through with them is a whole different ball game. Life gets away from me sometimes and for that reason I 100% support businesses like Bramble Box.
Bramble Box is a subscription service for kids that delivers fun, educational pretend play props to your doorstep for around $25 each month. They come with just about everything kids need to create a pretend workplace with little-to-no adult help required.
