What if lollipops grew on trees instead of fruit?

Developing descriptive language is a crucial milestone in children’s language development. A fun and creative way to enhance this skill is by using imaginative scenarios.

Try asking your child:

• What if people were made of jelly?
  • What if houses were made of sugar?
  • What if our pets were made of chocolate?
  • What if clouds poured wine instead of water?
  • What if lollipops grew on trees instead of fruit?

Encourage your child to describe what would change around them, how their daily life would look, what people would do, and how they would feel. There are no right or wrong answers. The goal is to spark creativity and enhance narrative expression.

🧠 This activity helps children:

• Expand their vocabulary
  • Practice descriptive language and thought organization
  • Boost imagination and spontaneous expression

Try it out — you’ll be surprised how easily it can spark rich conversations, endless ideas, and big smiles!
