Imagination is the child’s own room

A child sees the home for sure with different eyes than we adults; they can find caves, hiding places and sneaking creepy-crawlies in the corners and under the tables. Little humans thrive and feel the home AS their own place when their creativity is fed and given space. The pictures in Maja are ideas, gateways to the games and stories. The ideas of this book can work in every home, spacious or tiny.
The setting does not really matter, because in his fantasies a knight rides his horse on the whispering moor.
The bedlam of family-life can be made easier by being a creative adult. You can get more breathing time for yourself if you sow little seeds of stories around your children. They can use them as starting points for their games and plays. A messy and quarrelsome noon can be turned into an exciting trip in the woods in your own living room, or a racket can be turned down when you ask your little agents to sneak around still as the mice while they are on their important secret mission.

Maja inspires the whole family to create the fantasy worlds. Working and playing together refreshes team spirit, creates delicious memories and makes everybody feel needed.

The one inventing finds, and the finder is a keeper

It is great to be an explorer in the own home, make toys from materials laying around, find and invent. It is much better than a ready, plastic world. The goods sentenced to the rubbish bin can hide lots of amusement in them if you just know how to look at them. Old mattresses, toilet paper rolls, stirps of sheets, no-use kitchen equipment can make your imagination blossom. The single socks are not a nuisance after all, they can be used as a material for a SWINGING VINE.

The instructions in Maja do not need a fat wallet, bottomless arsenal of materials or special skills either. Everyone has just suitable ingredients at home. When you play a game or build a hut it is good to forget the profit responsibility. The result does not really matter, the most important thing is that everybody is having fun.

Maja also gives some seeds of ideas for decorating the children’s room. It is good to give children some say in the decorating their room - it is their kingdom after all. It is said that making a mess is a creative process too, even though the parents’ sense of humour may be put TO the test while cleaning up after the kids.
Especially, children’s roomS do not need to be like IN the decoration magazines. It is, as the name says, children’s own space. It is room for the imaginary creepy-crawlies and hide-and-seek games, room for secret agents to pry into things and claw creatures to romp about.
