For those of you who wonder what kids do with ALL those stuffies…
Well, my Future Farmgirl uses all of hers, plus the ones she’s co-opted from her brother. I often find them lined up, watching her play or set up as a crowd for a show she’s producing. She talks to them and takes them on “picnics.” When she was smaller, I had to give her a tote bag because she’d try to cart arm loads all at once up and down the stairs. The safety of her stuffies was clearly first, hers second.
Check this out…
Here are a bunch of her animals…”sleeping.”
And here’s the octopus, off on his own, sleeping on the couch.
FFG already has a strong sense of gender identity, so it’s my guess that the big group of stuffies are all female. And the octopus is a boy.
