Dear Parents,

Our child’s imagination runs wild, and they ask many questions because they are curious and love to learn.

At the same time, we should also offer them simple and correct explanations about these topics.

“Where does the sun go?” is a question that leads to many others in the child’s mind and takes them to an enchanting world of imagination, creativity, and knowledge.

 

Family Activities

  • "Where did the sun go?" We can think of humorous answers to write or draw on the last page of the book.
  • The sun visits her friend to play with her. Who are our friends? Which games do we like to play with them?
  • The sun makes a cake with her mother. What do we like to do with our parents or siblings?
  • It’s fun to play some games from our childhood with our kids, like hide and seek.
  • We can create a “Question Box” with our child, where we add different questions about several phenomena that baffle other family members. We can write these questions on small pieces of paper and put them in the box. Then, each of us can pull a piece of paper, read the question written on it, while the others try to think of imaginative and creative answers!
  • Enjoy your reading!
