Do you want to know a great secret weapon? Something we can take to the bank? I’ll tell you. It’s the power of imagination-and it’s something that America is especially good at. In fact, the toy industry is a vital part in promoting imagination by selling toys and games that encourage imaginative play-so much so that we should be getting an economic stimulus package for doing more of it. Here are four reasons why imaginative play is a must-reasons we can share with parents and the media.
