My sister's kids (4 and 6) have loads of toy figures. One of the things I love to do when I stay, after everyone's gone to bed, is to arrange them in an action scene.
Last time, I recreated a fight over a large sleeping doll in a crib, while smaller dolls an animals looked on from window ledges and the mantlepiece. Captain America and Batman were standing on each side of the crib, throwing punches at each other, while a giant Iron man advanced towards them, holding a terrified Barbie aloft. Little Spiderman and The Hulk were attacking/wrestling him as a distraction, while Action Man had climbed atop the fireplace tool stand, and was reaching out to Barbie trying to grab her hand and pull her to safety. Their hands were millimetres away! Oh, the suspense!
He he. It's fun to let your little side play!
