Why Do Children Love Mythical Creatures?
Children have always loved turning ordinary things into extraordinary adventures.
A stick becomes a magic wand.
A blanket becomes a castle.
A footballer becomes a dragon.
Imagination helps children explore emotions, build confidence and create stories that stay with them long after the game is over.
And that's exactly why mythical creatures appear in so many of the stories children treasure most.
