My 4 year-old daughter loves playing “Plants vs Zombies”. So much so that she used watercolour paints to dress up as a zombie, frightening her parents when they arrived home from work. We use the game as a reward for being good, and a five-minute session sometimes replaces storytime before bed. It’s amazing to me that a little poppet who can’t yet read can grasp so much of the strategy, and can create a consistent narrative for herself that explains how and why she’s playing the game. I couldn’t resist capturing her in action. Take a look!
