"עכשיו לילה, אבל נינה חושבת שהיא ערה". אפשר לשוחח עם הילדים על ההבדלים בין חלום ומציאות: האם גם לכם קרה פעם שלא הייתם בטוחים אם אתם ערים או ישנים? מה יכול לקרות בחלום ולא במציאות? אפשר לתת דרור לדמיון ולצייר ציור שכולו חלום.

Looking at the illustrations in a book can contribute to toddlers’ verbal development. You should look at an illustration together and describe it. For example: “Here’s a balloon, the balloon is round, the balloon floats upwards”, thereby enriching the toddlers’ vocabulary.
There are numerous verbs in this book that highlight the children’s shared actions. You can have fun by reading the book while adding a gesture to demonstrate each action – for instance, you can pretend to open the door, “roll a carpet out” or “plant flowers”, while allowing your toddlers to mimic your motions
You can look around you and identify which of the inventions in this book are in your life. Perhaps the drip irrigation in your backyard? Or the cherry tomato salad at dinnertime? How about the game of Taki you enjoy playing? Next, you can write a thank you note to the inventor of that particular invention, and tell him or her how useful it is to you.
