He is the son of @winstonwolfe and myself, and he wants to show you around his favorite place in town to take Mommy & Daddy to play.
Aptly named Itty Bitty City, this well-thought out fantasy village is aimed at kiddos age 9 and under. It's one of our favorite places to spend time as a family.
Follow Baby Wolfe and Daddy inside so he can show you around!
As a lovable, playful, 4 year old on the Autism spectrum, Itty Bitty City sparks Baby Wolfe's imagination. And though the company doesn't cater specifically to children on the spectrum, they do hold some sensory friendly Saturdays through out the year.
I think this is great because Itty Bitty City actually gives our kiddo a place to practice real-life scenarios that he struggles with daily in a fun, pint-sized environment!
First, we have to stop at the sinks near the door to wash our hands, doing our part to help stop the spread of germs!
Our first stop is this giant water table...
...to watch how whirlpools are formed!
The water table alone is almost a complete sensory experience. The water is cool (touch), there bubbles and a whirlpool he can control (sight, sound), and this corner of the place smells like a swimming pool (smell, taste)
At the Itty Bittty Animal Hospital, we can practice empathy for the sick and injured animals
(Notice how my son isn't in any of the animal hospital photos?
Yeah, we're still working on that one...)
Let's go inside Carina's Cafe and see what the specials are today!
We can make sandwiches & brick oven pizzas with Daddy
When we first started coming here, Cam would have nothing to do with food other than the very limited menu he will accept. My son's issue with food texture is so intense, he gags just watching other people eat. Interacting with different kinds of play food helps him understand the purpose of food, how it's made, and be educated about healthy eating choices without the overwhelming sensory experience that comes with real, edible food.
Next stop is Mama's Market to pick up some groceries.
Here, he is learning the step by step process of how to shop for and purchase groceries. While other kids see this as an opportunity to be imaginative, or "play house", my son is learning life skills in a different kind of way - through repetition. Practice makes perfect!
Then, we make a quick stop at the gas station.
And, of course, we must drop the groceries by the house...
...before we head off to a hard day's work at the Fire & Police station!
We're happy we got a chance to show you around Itty Bitty City, our favorite place to play! See you next time!
