I agree. His at his best with friends, in terms of creativity. But at home, he still very much needs me to for that, only recently started being a little bit independent.

Parent corner: ideas for long-term kid activities

My 4yo just wants to play the same thing everyday. Cars...

We have a bunch of building toys like Lego, mobilo and magnetic buildings etc. When I get them out and start building with him he usually gets into it. I prefer this kind of play to imaginary. Usually when he's with friends the imaginary play comes out more.

I think at this age playing outside with friends is the best for creativity and learning.
