WHAT ARE IMAGINARY FRIENDS?

● Imaginary friends are pretend friends that your child makes up in their imagination.

● Imaginary friends come in all shapes and sizes. They can be based on someone your child already knows, a storybook character or even a soft toy. Or they can come purely from your child’s imagination.

● These friends might always be there, or they might come and go. They might exist only in certain spots like the cubby house or at the kitchen table. And they might appear and disappear for no apparent reason.
