At Magic Cabin ® we often say that a child's work is to play. Young children are filled with curiosity about our world, and they bring their observations to bear through imaginative play. Dreams, observations, emotions, and all kinds of new information all find a way into childhood games. Long hours and days filled with open-ended imaginative play offers children practice in understanding and copying everyday practical tasks. Playing house, pretend cooking, pretend doctor visits, and pretend gardening are all avenues of learning. Customers have long associated Magic Cabin ® with the Waldorf teaching philosophy, which, at its core, encourages learning through the head, the heart, and the hands. Guided by this threefold philosophy, as well as other teaching and learning philosophies such as the Montessori Method, Magic Cabin ® continues to offer toys and games that support children into imaginative play. Simple, classic, and innovative toys made of natural materials seek to aid children in emotional, intellectual, and imaginative development. For example, natural cotton dolls with friendly expressions and changeable outfits help children learn to behave with empathy and affection. Wool felt fantasy play sets and fairy and gnome dolls allow children to enact imaginative storytelling. Smooth, sanded wooden blocks allow children to discover building and construction, which is at the very heart of fine motor skills development. Fairy tale puppets and puppet theatres offer props for storylines. Silk squares and dress up options such as unicorn, dragon, and fairy wings, and butterfly and owl wings allow children to pretend and to engage with the outdoors. Woodland play is a specialty at Magic Cabin ®, as we believe that engaging with nature from a very young age sparks imaginative curiosity and the stirrings of an interest in science. We take a child's work life seriously, and strive to support children and families yesterday, today, and well into the future!
