Living in the Midwest during winter forces us to be very creative when it comes to playing. Thanks to freezing temperatures our time outside is limited, so we look for more imaginative ways to entertain indoors! So when I came across Hunting Faeries, I couldn’t wait to let my kids try out the felt masks and dress up pieces this Etsy shop offers.
Elle all but fainted with delight when I showed her the Peacock Mask. It hasn’t left her face without a full on protest from her. While she’s smitten with the colors and the very idea that she can transform herself into a bird, I love how well made it is. The details are amazing; the layers of felt perfectly placed is sewed on to last. (This mask is a limited edition for Mardi Gras, so order one now!) Each mask is made with an elastic tie allowing an exact fit.
And for Graham? The Xander the Fox mask. Little dude loves it. When he’s not prowling for peacocks, he’s protecting the house from all other threats. And believe me, a 5 year old can create quite a list of potential hazards. Using the same eye for detail, shop owner Lola Fox creates an instant classic. Seeking to “inspire make believe and creative play for wee folk”, there are many stories just waiting to told. From vikings to butterflies, there is an idea for every imagination.
Hunting Faeries is offering one reader a Xander Fox Mask and Tail set. Follow them on Facebook and let us know how you encourage your kids to play pretend!

I follow Hunting Faeries on FB. I encourage my child to pretend through modeling pretend play and playing with her. I also provide toys, games, and materials conducive for dramatic play. Most importantly, I limit media exposure, electronic doo-dads that ‘play themselves’, and branded/licensed characters.

I like to take the kids away from the electronics by going out into the woods and exploring on our own, lets us imagine scenarios better out there among the trees

i like Hunting Faeries on Facebook, and play with my son often. Pretend play was actually very difficult at first for my son, he was so literal all the time. It took a little work and lots of fun play time from his daddy and I, but now we can add space man, a jungle explorer, deep sea diver, doctor, many other creative occupations to his resume. This would be absolutely great for him.

Like their FB page.
I encourage kids by asking a LOT of “What if…” questions. It keeps their imaginations spinning with possibilities! “What if the sky was red all the time? What would that do?” What if the moon really WAS made of cheese?” It’s so fun!

We so enjoy exploring the woods, She can see the deer and wants to find out what else is out there. We plan a picnic and then just roam, its on our land but we pretend we’re in the dark woods in a far off land. Love it!!! I do too.

WOWEE those masks are seriously gorgeous! Thanks so much for the opportunity to win! My kiddo is on a major pretend kick, she can turn everythiiing into something imaginitive, often involving wild animals. She’s especially into having people play different roles, for example I pretend to be her, she pretends to be me, etc. Pretty interesting to see.

Pretend play was a favorite for me and my Son. I made sure we had the right elements to build upon his imagination: costumes, materials to make ‘pretend’ items and purchasing sets.
Now, with my great nieces, I do many of the same things. Girls really love pretend play and dress up. I try to keep sets and items so they can go crazy!

Followed them on Facebook. My little girl is not quite 5 months yet, but I can’t wait to play pretend with her! I think sometimes giving kids ordinary, everyday objects to play with (eg. wooden spoons, toilet paper rolls, etc) makes them use their imagination more.

That mask is so fabulous, it almost makes me wish I had FB so I could enter. I did just put one on my son’s wish list. Fantastic! He loves to pretend he’s different animals.
