Both my girls were serving bans from their tablets and laptops last night....They decided to play together with Ellie's dolls....They can get along when electronics are not involved!
Don't ask why the dolls have no clothes on....I have no idea!
It's always good to know that kids can get along fine without the electronics. Ours are the same - they love their tablets but when we make them put them away they're great at playing with other toys or just making up their own games with whatever is to hand.
A table ban is a very good idea! I never ban it here, but I probably should. It's amazing what kids will do if they have to find something else to entertain themselves!
We often have breaks from 'screens' it's then when I discover what my kids are made of. The two youngest will play together lovely, and the two oldest will, but the oldest refuses to play with the youngest!! It is lovely seeing them play together though, and of course, naked dolls is just the norm!
We had an old Barbie donated to the charity shop I volunteer in...completely naked apart from a bikini painted on in nail varnish...the mind boggles! X
So nice to have some screen-free time and enjoy playing with toys. Lovely photo of Becky and Ellie playing happily together. My girls always end up with undressed dolls too!
I do like the idea of a tablet ban, it is a great way to get kids discovering other toys.

ReplyDeleteNot tablets, but TV bans normally end up with them playing nicely in our house. Always feel like needing to capture the moment. Lol
ReplyDeletelovely to see some "good old fashioned " play! lol!!
ReplyDeleteI need to get back to banning tv before reading or writing has been done. Looks like your two are having fun and getting creative with their dolls
ReplyDeleteNothing beats a good wholesome game of naturist dolls! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're getting on brilliantly. Don't blame you for imposing a tablet ban, great idea!
ReplyDeleteIt's obviously a nudist camp!! I do love watching my older two play like this, it happens so rarely nowadays! :D #sundayphoto
ReplyDeleteWe are having a bit of an ipad ban at dinner at the moment. Yours looks like it is going better than ours! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see them play together so nicely #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteSometimes it nice to have breaks away from screens. Great to see them playing together! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteHaha my girls always undress their dolls too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like great fun - hope you had a good half-term.
ReplyDeleteOld-fashioned fun, great stuff :)

Hi Kim, I bet it was lovely to see them getting along so nicely. They may have even secretly thanked you for the electronic ban you imposed.

Aww looks like a lot of fun being had. Love playing with dolls xx
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lot of fun and how super that they are playing with real things and not just games on phones and iPads etc!
ReplyDeleteHa ha. Mine are often arguing over who's turn it is on the xbox or why one's ipad won't load and the other's will!
