"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Sally Head and today I am going to talk to you how to nurture your preschoolers imagination. How to live with your preschoolers crazy imagination. Three things: accept imaginary friends, accept the offbeats and keep methods manageable. It's okay for children to develop and create a huge mess on the floor. If you think it is a mess to them, it's creativity. You know you can clean it up later. Things don't always have to be neat and orderly because children don't think that way. They start to explore their world and spread it out and things just go on and that's how their imaginations take off. So again, you don't need to worry about cleaning up the messes right after they are done. They'll come back to it and discover something new that they didn't discover before. You want to go take a walk?"
