Why I Encourage Princess Play

kid activities

My daughter is a princess fanatic. Like a lot of little girls I know, she is crazy for anything pink and sparkly, gold and glittery. It’s as if there was nothing I could have done to stop it. She was born loving all the symbolic girly things.

IMG_0273FB  

While I was pregnant with her, I read a book bashing the obsession our daughters have with princesses and I don’t agree. There are several reasons I have to encourage my girl to play with all her favorite dolls.

Princesses Are Kind.

Have you ever heard of a mean princess? I haven’t. All of the main characters our girls idolize are the epitome of kindness. They are good to their friends, animals, even their enemies and people that don’t treat them well. I can watch my daughter as she plays pretend and see that characteristic coming through in her dialogue. It’s beautiful.

They are full of other great characteristics as well like, compassion, loyalty, strength, respect, intelligence and optimism.

Princesses Are Brave.

I adore the idea that most princesses are standing up for something they believe in strongly. They are willing to stand strong for their beliefs and what is right in the world. I want my daughter to always know that no matter how small she may be or how defeated she may feel, she always has a choice.

Paityn just got a new princess toy that has quickly become her most favorite yet! The VTech® Go! Go! Smart Friends® Enchanted Princess Palace™ is so fun.

This epic palace is huge – four feet wide! It has a ballroom, music room, kitchen, parlor and observation tower. She loves taking Princess Darla through the MagicPoint® locations where she can chat with friends and sing. She can swing, dance and spin.

You can add more princes and princesses to the palace, too. You can create an entire kingdom! You can find these at Target, Amazon, Toys R Us and Walmart.
