The empty spoon
⏱️ 10 min📦 things you have🏠 in or out🤲 sitting💛 Social-emotional
Feeding a doll pretend food is the moment a child acts on something that is not there. An empty spoon that both of you agree is full is a whole shared fiction, and holding one is a bigger step than any of the individual actions in it.
🧺 You need
- a doll or soft toy
- an empty spoon and cup
